[va-richmond-general] Wetlands Before Work (Friday Apr 10th)

Better late than never!

Highlights were a flock of Rusty Blackbirds and 5 Forster's Terns at the river. 
Note: E-bird has recently requested that we make more of an effort to report 
the # of each species seen (rather than just using "X"), so I've reported my 
best estimate for most of the species we saw Friday.

Location:     James River Park--The Wetlands
Observation date:     4/10/09

Notes:     Saw the terns down at the river. Assumed they were gulls at first, 
but got a nice surprise once we took a better look. Also, saw a probable juv. 
Bald Eagle, but not quite a good enough look to list.
