I spent a little under two hours early this morning birding southern
Amherst Co along the James River under cloudy skies and a few sprinkles.
There was a little better representation of warblers than last Saturday
in the wooded areas, but the highlight were four Summer Tanagers along
Joshua Falls Road, a good number for along a two mile stretch around
here these days.
