[va-richmond-general] warblers on the move

["Bob Reilly" <rjreilly@xxxxxxx>]

Looking out the bedroom window upon rising yesterday morning, I was greeted 
by a blue-winged and two magnolia warblers plus a female scarlet tanager, 
moving along as part of a larger flock of migrants. Could be just about 
anything in the next few weeks.  Should be a bunch of veerys around in the 
next week or so.
