Hello Birders, I spent some time birding the James River Park System today in the City of Richmond (Pony Pasture, the Wetlands, 42nd Street, and the Floodwall) with 70 species seen. There was a visible movement of CHIMNEY SWIFTS at 42nd St. between 9:45 am and 11:00 am when I counted 138 (largest group was 43, smallest was 3). They were all flying upriver. Also noted were 8 PURPLE MARTIN, and 9 TREE SWALLOW. Also observed here were 3 RED-BREASTED MERGANSER. Later in the afternoon from the floodwall I observed a MERLIN fly upriver at around 3:30. Good Birding Arun Bose Richmond You are subscribed to VA-Richmond-General. To unsubscribe, send email to va-richmond-general-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field.
