Sunday I spent 3 hours with my father-in-law and brother-in-law kayaking on the Rappohannock River near Fredericksburg, VA. Beautiful sunny morning, and though I wasn't there to bird, I managed to hear quite a nice list of birds, including a surprising number of warblers! We covered 6 miles on the river total. Most of the birds were heard, but not seen. Here's the e-bird list:
