Thanks to the many ospreyers who gave us directions and updates. Barred Owl -- seen at Huntley Meadows; looked for but not seen or heard at Wilde Lake, unfortunately. Red-headed Woodpecker -- dipped! Whip-poor-will -- Heard at Hipsley Mill Rd, Howard Co. Scissor-tailed Flycatcher -- a "bonus", certainly not expected in (sh-h-h) Culpeper, VA. Red-shouldered Hawk -- several sites in Maryland and Virginia Ruby-throated Hummingbird -- seen at Huntley Meadows and also in our own yard in Silver Spring (at beebalm) Yellow-breasted Chat -- Seen well at Layhill Park Vesper Sparrow -- Cap Stine Rd. Grasshopper Sparrow -- Cap Stine Rd. Dickcissel -- Cap Stine Rd. Loggerhead Shrike -- Lilypons Rd. Mississippi Kite -- a last minute save as we drove to Huntley en route to taking Arturo to the bus (he is now in NYC) Missed -- somehow -- Bald Eagle along the Potomac and Pileated WP anywhere. Arturo also saw lots of other nice birds which he has only seen once before, many years ago so he is happy...
