I suspect the hack occurred at my email provider's server rather than my PC. So
I doubt Larry's site was involved.
My internet security software, which is automatically updated, and two
different anti-malware programs from other sources failed to detect any
problems on my PC. Also, the bogus emails are not in my Sent folder.

Subject: Re: [Va-bird] [va-bird] Bogus emails from my email address
I hope it's not my photo site that's causing the spam. Please let me know if
anyone else is having problems after accessing my photos and I will try to
remedy the problem. I have not heard of anyone else having difficulties and I
sort of doubt my site is infected, but I want to be sure.
Thanks,

Subject: [Va-bird] [va-bird] Bogus emails from my email address
I use this email account for very little other than posting to [va-bird] and
reading [va-bird] posts. Somehow my address book was hijacked yesterday, and
the
only email I recall opening earlier that day were [va-bird] posts, and the only
URL I opened in an email was the one provided in Larry Meade's post on his
photo
of the C. Moorhen at Huntley.
Has anyone else had problems after viewing Larry's photos? I ask in case his
photo site was hacked and malware added to the page, then downloaded to my PC
when I accessed the site.
If you receive any email from my account with nothing but "Re" on the subject
line, or perhaps just "Re [va-bird]", I did not send it, and ti should be
deleted.
