I took a nice walk at Appomattox Riverside Park in Dinwiddie County this
morning. Highlights were 9 warbler species including my first of spring
PRAIRIE WARBLER, HOODED WARBLER and NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH. Also had a
SWAINSON'S THRUSH tee up which may be a bit on the early side. The ORCHARD
ORIOLES and a pair of EASTERN KINGBIRDS were quite vocal and it seemed like
every little bird I looked at was a YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER. A nice morning to
be out. I've inlcuded the list from ebird below. Good birding.
