About a dozen of us scoured the Park today: although passage migrants were
scarce (no BLACKPOLL???), we still netted, I think 95 species.
Highlights included
Least flycatcher (at the "North Wetland" off the Hike/Bike Trail)
Woodcock 2
Pectoral Sandpiper
Semi-plover
Nighthawk 2
Little blue heron
Nashville warbler
Chat in the Woodcock Meadow
Great horned owl
Lots of baby wood ducks and hooded mergansers
It's not too late to make a donation, which will support an intern at the
park. See the Friends of Huntley Meadows newsletter at page 7
