New arrivals at Amelia WMA include BLUE-HEADED VIREO, PRAIRIE WARBLER and HOODED WARBLER. Still here: WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW, DARK-EYED JUNCO. Also a GROUNDHOG in the mammal department. On the way down to Amelia, a BARRED OWL dropped into the ditch at the edge of Rocky Ford Road in Powhatan. No safe place to stop. On the way back, a little further north, there were four TURKEYS in a field, two males displaying. Guess they knew they were safe from the spring gobbler hunters this morning.
