Chantilly Ecological Sanctuary:
On January 25, 2025, on my way home from the Irwin Creek Greenway, I briefly visited the Chantilly Ecological Sanctuary, hoping to find a Merlin that had recently been spotted there.
Unfortunately, I didn’t encounter the Merlin.
However, here are a few images from this short visit:
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker; three photos of a Killdeer; Red-bellied Woodpecker; a trio of Mallards; and a Downy Woodpecker.
Enjoy!
Stay safe, and have a great day!
