I returned on Saturday with some youth birders to see if we could again find 
the Kentucky Warbler along the Fishing Trail at Tuckahoe.  We had no luck on 
the male but there was a possible (probable? hopeful?) sighting of the 
female.  After leaving the trail to return to the car, we saw a Northern 
Harrier flying across a cornfield, not hunting, just flying across about 100 
feet up.

By the pond by the lake at Tuckahoe, we found White Eyed Vireo, Blue Gray 
Gnatcatcher, and juvenile Wood Ducks on the pond.

While traveling around Ruthsburg, we heard a Pheasant and saw a Kestrel on 
the wires.

Nine Cattle Egrets have returned to the field across the entrance road to 
the dump site outside of Centreville.

While weeding strawberries, the hollering of Blue Jays broke thru my weeding 
reverie.  I paid it no mind but then after a minute or so they started to 
get closer.  I looked up in time to see a Red-shouldered Hawk flying by with 
an infant bird in its talons.  It was hotly pursued by 3 or 4 Blue Jays and 
about a dozen Grackles joining in.
