I found nine species of sparrows between 8-9 AM this morning at Blandy
Experimental Farm in Clarke County, VA. Most were in the Rattlesnake Spring
area: Eastern Towhee, Chipping, Field, Savannah, Song, Lincoln, Swamp,
White-throated, and White-Crowned Sparrows. Not too many warblers - a
handful of Tennessees and a single Magnolia. Other notables included
Cooper's Hawk, Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, Ruby-crowned Kinglets, and Eastern
Meadowlarks.
