[va-richmond-general] James River Park, 5/2/08

It was a beautiful morning at James River Park, with about as many birders wandering about as there were birds. I think we may have out-numbered the joggers, biker, and dog walkers. It was a bit breezy, and most agreed that there wasn't quite the variety of species we expected today. Among folks I talked to, we tallied eleven warbler species: Northern Parula, Black-throated Blue, Yellow-rumped, Yellow-throated, Blackpoll (early?), Black-and-White, American Redstart, Prothonotary, Northern Waterthrush, and Common Yellowthroat and Ovenbird. We found both Orioles, with evidence of breeding observed for a pair of Baltimores, as reported by Paul Bedell. Also seen or heard: Spotted Sandpiper, Scarlet Tanager and Rose-breasted Grosbeak. A quick stop at the Wetlands added Acadian Flycatcher and Barred Owl to the list. May have caught a quick glimpse of a Kingfisher entering the burrows described by Jan Frye, but I'm not certain about that. My list for 42nd Street appears below.
