I was also at Occoquan over the weekend. There is an Orange Crowned Warbler in
the brushy field across from the intersection of Bayview and Charlie/Locust
Roads. It was there on Saturday and Sunday. It will take a bit of patience --
it roams that entire area. I found it both days by listening for its chip call.

Subject: [Va-bird] Occoquan Bay NWR, osprey
Kurt Gaskill and I birded Occoquan Bay NWR this morning. We tallied 64
species. I saw my first osprey at the refuge this year, and later saw 2 at
nearby Belmont marina. Other noteworthy sightings were 2 tundra swans, 9
savannah sparrows, a tree sparrow, yellow-bellied sapsucker, hermit thrush, 4
winter wrens, and 5000 lesser scaup in Marumsco Bay. We did not see the great
horned owl; the nest was empty. Not sure what of make of that.
