[va-richmond-general] James River Park 42nd St. Richmond 5/16

Hello Birders,
20 + birders from Hampton Roads Bird Club, Richmond Audubon Society, and
beyond attended today¹s walk. Great to see everyone and thanks for coming
out. It was apparent many of the migrants from earlier in the week had
cleared out, but we were still able to tally 68 species. 10 species of
warbler present, with BLACKPOLL being the most numerous. Perhaps the
highlight was being able to observe a pair of LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH
attending an active nest. Nest sites of DOWNY WOODPECKER, PROTHONOTARY
WARBLER, BALTIMORE ORIOLE also seen. Full list below.
