I visited Monticello Park (park know as a hot spot for spring and fall warbler migration) a couple of times this spring in search of the various migrating warblers but I had no luck, nor did I get a chance to visit often. Monticello Park is a small neighborhood park in northern Virginia that sits under a canopy of trees so the lighting is not the best but bird variety is spectacular, particular the warblers. I did not have any luck this year with the warblers, however, the Wood Thrush was available for the taking. One of the most common woodland birds of the East, the Wood Thrush is best known for its hauntingly beautiful song. A large and heavily spotted thrush, it is a bird of the interior forest, seldom seen outside the deep woods. Its susceptibility to cowbird parasitism has made it a heavily studied species. |
