Did the PGAS Birdathon on Saturday. The wind had me pessimistic about a big day and after several whiffs at Huntley Meadows (no Sora or YC Night-Herons) I was sure it wasn't going to be a Big Day. I did trudge down the trail through the woods at the end of the boardwalk and get RH Woodpecker plus a dozen ticks. Itinerary- 0500-1000 Huntley Meadow, VA 1005-1010 Krispy Kreme Donuts 1030-1145 Monticello Park, VA 1230-1400 Izaak Walton section of Pax River Park, PG Co MD also small wooded stream near Glenn Dale Golf course 1500-2030 Delaware Beaches Monticello Park had no flowing water and produced few warblers, my total for the day was only 21 warbler species. I call in a 'stealth day' because a) either Dover AFB had their own air show or they were the staging area for Andrews and both the Stealth Fighter and the B-2 Bomber few over and b) odd birds kept showing up, a Common Loon flying over Bombay Hook; 60+ Avocets, a Tricolor Heron and 2 Shovelers at Little Creek; a lone Oystercatcher at Port Mahon; Upland Sandpiper AND Grasshopper Sparrow near Dover AFB. So when I counted up at the end of the day, to my surprise I had a personal best - 157 species in a day.
