Christine Perdue and Linda Millingtonled a Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy sponsored walk at Camp Highroad, a summer camp near Middleburg, Virginia in Loudoun County on Friday, May 8th.
Great Crested Flycatcher
Our group of nine were treated to some great views – Indigo Buntings – stunning in the sun, an Orchard and Baltimore Oriole in the same field of view high in a sycamore tree, a very bright Great Crested Flycatcher at the top of a pine.
We had a great time tracking down Black-throated Blue Warblers and Scarlet Tanagers in the wooded areas, and the woods were full of the songs of Ovenbirds, Wood Thrush, Eastern Wood-Pewees, and American Redstarts.
