After a great day at the Ashland Trolley Line on Saturday, I spent a
few ho=
urs at the 42nd Street and Wetlands sections of James River Park on
Sunday.=
It was pretty quiet by comparison. Warblers seen or heard at 42nd
Street: =
Northern Parula, Black-throated Blue, Yellow-throated, Blackpoll,
Black-and=
-White, Prothonotary, Ovenbird, and Common Yellowthroat. Many were
heard on=
ly. There was one Orchard Oriole, but no Baltimores and no Tanagers.
One Pi=
ne Siskin did it's "zeeeeet" a couple of times down near Reedy Creek
- I im=
agine it was on it's way north, as I haven't seen/heard them at that
locati=
on before. There was at least one Spotted Sandpiper, maybe two,
along the r=
iver.
The Wetlands also seemed fairly quiet. I found Northern Parula,
Yellow-thro=
ated, Pine, Blackpoll, Black-and-White and Common Yellowthroat
there, along=
with Acadian Flycatchers singing "peeeet-za!"
Today before work I spent an hour roaming around the Huguenot
Flatwater sec=
tion of the park. The trails are muddy, but passable. Acadian
Flycatchers w=
ere present there as well, along with Northern Parula, Black-
throated Blue,=
Black and White, and Redstart. Best bird of the day was a singing
Yellow-t=
hroated Vireo as I was packing up to leave.=20
I don't know what experience others are having, but it seems like we
might =
have peaked early this year - the last weekend in April was pretty
hopping =
at the Wetlands. Maybe there will be another push before things
quiet down =
for good - I've got my fingers crossed.
