I spent a few hours at Occoquan NWR this morning, starting about 20 minutes
befor the gate opened. While waiting I witnessed the woodcock display, heard
turkeys gobbling from the woods on the south side of the road, and saw a great
horned owl fly over the road. The most notable sighting in the refuge was a
bobwhite flushed up along Easy Rd. Also seen were 1 female common goldeneye, 1
greater scaup, 1 horned grebe, 1 kestrel, 1 northern harrier, 1 singing brown
thrasher, 2 rusty blackbirds, 1 American pipit, 1 Wilson's snipe, and fox,
swamp, savannah, song, field, and white-throated sparrows..
