42 Species of Birds Found During Banshee Reeks Walk

Because 26 people showed up for Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy’s monthly walk at Banshee Reeks Nature Preserve on February 12, we broke into two groups: one led by Michael Sciortino and Larry Meade, and the other by Joe Coleman and Mary Ann Good. Each group found 35 species of birds, with a total of 42 species for the two groups. The highlights of the two walks were two Gray Catbirds that were seen and heard about a quarter mile apart from each other,  Three Wild Turkeys, two Fox Sparrows, two Hermit Thrushes and a calling Barred Owl.
