Today Larry Meade graciously guided me on a bird walk at Occoquan Bay NWR near Woodbridge VA. We were hoping to relocate a Sedge Wren that has recently been seen there but couldn't. However, birding was great and I managed to add a few lifers to my list. They were Prairie Warbler, Caspian Tern and Fish Crow. I was also treated to too many Osprey sitings than to can count and Bald Eagles were plentiful as well. I also added some FOS sitings too. They were Prothonotary and Palm Warblers, Common Yellowthroat and Orchard Oriole. We also heard to King Rails calling but couldn't spot them. Would've been nice to have added those to my list. Oh we also found a very conspicuous Blue-gray Gnatcatcher next which Larry took pics of and I will forward to the list.
