Hello Birders,
I managed to squeeze in a few hours of birding in the city today (James
River Park 42nd St. in the am, James River Park Wetlands in the pm). I
recorded 55 species in all, with Black + Turkey Vulture, and Fish Crow seen
in between.
As others have commented rainy day birding at this time of year is often
the best.
There was a nice mix of species with many winter visitors appearing and
lingering neotropical migrants showing also.
