I paid a visit to Fighting Creek Park in the village of Powhatan this morning. Despite the noise from the adjacent soccer fields (which is why I don't usually visit this park on Saturdays in spring) I did find my FOS SWAINSON'S THRUSH, PRAIRIE WARBLER and INDIGO BUNTING. No WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS or other typical winter species.
