Jan Frye, Nancy Kitchens and I spent a beautiful January day birding around Williamsburg on Saturday. We had located over 40 species by 11am (mostly in the neighborhoods containing the W. Tanager and Eurasian Wigeon), so we continued on to New Quarter Park to try and pick up a few more before heading back to Richmond. We ended the day with exactly 50 species. It was very nice meeting everyone who came out to see the Tanager.
