Hello Birders, Today, between 5 and 5:30 pm I observed and adult male Surf Scoter from the floodwall. It was closer to the north side than the south, but I managed to get a record shot. http://www.flickr.com/photos/arun_birdphotos/ Other highlights were 11 Osprey, of which 1 carrying a large Shad, 4 Lesser Black-backed Gull, 2 adult, I 3rd year/cycle, 1 2nd year/cycle. Yesterday 4/16 I saw 53 Bonapate's Gull at Pony Pasture (off Half Moon Beach). This evening there were 7 Red-breasted Merganser on the River at the Wetlands. Also seen today in the James River Park System; Blue-headed Vireo (1), Louisiana Waterthrush (2), Ovenbird (1), Palm Warbler (1). Arun Bose Richmond You are subscribed to VA-Richmond-General.
