Although I often go birding in the Wakefield-Accotink corridor after recycling stuff at Wakefield, I followed Mike Collins instructions today, with good results. Arriving at 8 am, I went down the west edge of the powerline cut to the point where the trail veers east and crosses an intermittent stream. I was rewarded with clear sightings of Northern Parula, Common Yellowthroat, and Connecticut Warblers. I got a glimpse of another warbler, possibly Chestnut-sided. Also in the area were two White-eyed Vireos, engaged in a singing contest! Birds seen nearby included Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, numerous Goldfinches, a moulting Mockingbird, and a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. After exploring trails to the north of that spot with little success, I returned at 10:30, finding only catbirds. Guess you have to be at the right place and time!
