Bird Walk at Warhill Sports Complex, 7/14/2018
Warhill Sports Complex5700 Warhill Trail, Williamsburg, VAWe saw 40 species at the Warhill Sports Complex. For mid-July, 40 species is pretty good. Some birds were easier to spot than others! For example, here is my photo of the Osprey nest.
Also, here is Nancy Barnhart’s photo of the hard to find Common Yellowthroat!

Bird Walk at New Quarter Park, 7/28/2018
New Quarter Park1000 Lakeshead Dr., Williamsburg, VaThe fourteen birders attending the New Quarter Park Bird Walk on Saturday, July 28, lingered at the dock on Queens Creek to watch the stars of the day – in addition to the nine Great Egrets and two Great Blue Herons that stretched along the Creek, an adult and three juvenile Yellow-crowned Night-herons, disturbed by the incoming tide, perched in the trees above the boats and gave us exceptional scope views. We also enjoyed seeing a mature Bald Eagle and the three recently fledged juvenile Osprey, which are growing stronger and flying further although they’re still dependent on the adult for food. They may well have begun their first migration south before our next bird walk on August 25.
