Following is the tally from the October 20 bird walk at Riverbend Park, which
identified approximately 22 species and included six participants. Highlights
included two separate sightings of Purple Finches and a prolonged look at an
Eastern Phoebe. While some warblers were observed, even more were active in the
trees, their dark bodies helpfully (!) silhouetted against the overcast sky.
Today's walk again took place in the Conn's Farm Meadow.
The final, scheduled walk of the season will meet at 8:00 a.m. on Friday
October 26th (rain or shine), in the parking lot at the Riverbend Park
Visitors' Center; please contact Riverbend Park on 703-759-9018 to register.
Participants should be prepared to walk about 2 miles in comfortable,
closed-toed shoes. There likely will be gentle uphill and downhill stretches on
slightly uneven terrain. All those with an interest in the natural world -
beginning or experienced birders - please join us.
