[va-richmond-general] Re: [Va-bird] 42nd St. - James River Park - richmond: today

Was at 42nd Street in the Parking Lot before running into Gerry emerging from 
the woods. First heard then saw a male  Summer Tanager. The bird was in another 
tree behind the Mulberry-it then flew more into the woodland. Sadly no Canada's 
but a nice display by a Spotted Sandpiper on the rocks along the stream. Also 
in the parking lot a lone Cedar Waxing and a Northern Parula. The Swainson's 
Thrush were tntc and the vocalizations were beautiful!
