[va-richmond-general] Re: 42nd Street - James River Park, 5-14

I followed Arun Bose's example with a lunchtime swing through the 42nd Street portion of James River Park today (noon through about 1:15pm -- I don't know how Arun tears himself away after just half an hour). It was a bit windy and there were the beginnings of a high overcast, so there wasn't a huge amount of activity, but I did find a BAY-BREASTED WARBLER on the down-stream island just opposite the picnic shelter, along with BLACKPOLL, NORTHERN PARULA, COMMON YELLOWTHROAT, and YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS seen or heard. There were singing SWAINSON'S THRUSH and WOOD THRUSH, as well as good numbers of SCARLET TANAGERS and one BALTIMORE ORIOLE. I also had a close encounter with a SPOTTED SANDPIPER in the same general area where the Bay-breasted Warbler was hanging about. Two BALD EAGLES, one adult and one immature, were soaring with the TURKEY VULTURES over the river.
