Five people participated in the Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy's visit to the
Lucketts area in Loudoun County this morning. We looped around on the roads
east of Lucketts.
While we didn't find anything especially unusual among the 40 species of birds
we did find a juvenile NORTHERN HARRIER on Hibler Rd, several small flocks of
CEDAR WAXWINGS, a FOX SPARROW, and EASTERN MEADOWLARKS in a couple of different
locations. And there were vocalizing Spring Peepers.
Information on the Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy can be found at
