Riverbend Park (Fairfax County) was active again this morning on the
western side of the meadow along Jeffery Rd. For about an hour starting about
7:30 AM there was a flurry (or fury?) of warbler activity. Ten species of
warblers were seen including most reported by Jay and Carol Hadlock
yesterday. The highlight was a striking male Prairie Warbler, a species I
have
seldom observed here. I'm still hoping for an
Oporornis or two in the days ahead.
