Eight birders joined me this morning in a walk on the Bayview Trail at Mason
Neck State Park. This was a preliminary to the Eagle Festival taking place
at the park today. Quite an event!
We enjoyed cooler temperatures than the last few days and a light breeze,
and counted 30 species. Bird highlights were good views of a Red-eyed Vireo
low down in a sapling near the trail, a male Baltimore Oriole glowing in the
morning light, and a Least Flycatcher heard (I saw it yesterday on my
scouting walk, on the boardwalk in the woods near the end of the trail.
This walk was co-sponsored by the Audubon Society of Northern Virginia and
the Friends of Mason Neck.
