I spotted a Yellow Throated Vireo yesterday on my property (Gum
Spring).
> Saw and heard nearly 50 species of birds in about 4 1/2 hours
this morning at 42nd Street - James River Park. Most notably, I heard
a Yellow-throated Vireo at the beginning of the bridge. I might have
seen it, but I'm not sure because the light at that particular spot
was poor. The Bonaparte's, for the most part, seem to have moved on as
I only saw one today, and it took some searching to find it among all
the Ring-billed Gulls. Here is the complete list. (h) means heard
only.
> Mourning Dove - 4
> White-eyed Vireo - 1 (heard others)
> Yellow-rumped Warbler - EVERYWHERE (at least 40)
> Chimney Swift - 2
> Downy Woodpecker - 5. One male was intent on drumming in a small wet
area near the beginning of the meadow. He was drumming on and off for
a couple of hours. It was fun watching him drum, then stop and turn
his head to listen to the
> response/s he got.
> Hairy Woodpecker - 1 male, seen/heard near the above-mentioned
drumming Downy. No mistaking that chisel of his!

heard at least twice as many. Two trees seemed be FULL of them.
