["Shirley Devan" <sedevan52@xxxxxxx>]

Virginia Birders,

 

Friday, May 5, I found 24 species at York River State Park without really
trying hard. Many were around the visitor center and parking lot. Highlights
were the Blue Grosbeak, Indigo Buntings (many!) and Eastern Bluebirds
(many!). At least one bluebird had bands on both legs, thanks to Caitlyn
Kight at W&M and her research.

 

Here's the full list from eBird. I'm sure there were many more that I heard
and could not identify.
