Just a few notes about spring migration around Richmond. If anyone has news to
add, please pipe up!
This morning in my yard I had singing Northern Parula, Black-throated Blue
Warbler, Redstart, Blackpoll Warbler, and Acadian Flycatcher. (Stony Point area)
Swainson's Thrushes have been seen/heard at both Bandy Field and the 42nd
Street section of James River park in the past couple of days.
I had a few free minutes yesterday afternoon and swung by 42nd Street. Before
the rain descended, I was surprised to find a Willow Flycatcher singing near
the base of the stairs.
Last weekend after the Saturday RAS walk at 42nd Street, I headed down to Dutch
Gap with Kirk Andrews, where we found a Warbling Vireo on the trail behind the
Visitor Center. I also caught a brief flight of a Least Bittern from the second
observation platform over the marsh.
I feel like I haven't seen as many tanagers and grosbeaks this year as in past
years, but I also haven't had as much time to get out as in some past years.
The only Prothonotary Warbler I have seen/heard within the city this year was
at the Pipeline Walk.
Good birding,
Lewis
