Birded Leesylvania from 5:30-10:00 and Julie Metz from 10:15-12:00.
Most numerous bird at Leesylvania were Cedar Waxwings - 150+ Started at the
gun battery and with 20-25 Waxwings in the trees, a flock of 50-60 flew by;
walking down the ridge, they were in groups of 10s in many of the trees; a
couple dozen in the picnic area; and a couple dozen at Bushy Pt (that I could
see). Eight species of warbler including Louisiana Waterthrush, Black-throated
Green, Canada (2), Magnolia and Blackpoll.
