This morning Abby Walter and I birded the James River Park in Richmond from
the entrance at 42nd St to the park headquarters. Lots of new birds today.

From the parking lot to the staircase, we encountered BLACK-THROATED BLUE,
and WORM-EATING WARBLERS before hearing a distant BLUE-WINGED WARBLER. We
took the Buttermilk Trail up the river to find one, plus a singing KENTUCKY
WARBLER (very secretive but seen briefly by both of us--a nice surprise)
and silent OVENBIRD and WOOD THRUSH. A couple of NORTHERN PARULAS and
BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLERS, and a GREAT CRESTED FLYCATCHER were also
heard in these woods.

Down on the trail to the headquarters, we heard a PRAIRIE WARBLER singing
on one of the scrubby islands, and on the way back we found our first
INDIGO BUNTING of the year.

We ended the morning with 61 species, including 14 warblers. Now this is
spring migration!
