Only two birders joined me for the Audubon Society of Northern Virginia
sponsored walk at Mason neck State Park today. Waterfowl species diversity
was low, but there was still a lot of birds on Belmont Bay. A highlight was
watching four Bald Eagles trying to catch coots. None succeeded, but it was
fascinating for our small group to watch. There are lots of cowbirds
displaying today and bluebirds and Tree Swallows investigating nest boxes.
We also had two closeup views from two very cooperative Hermit Thrushes.
