When submitting eBird observations at the James River Park System, it is most helpful to start a new checklist for each hotspot in the area. Use the general hotspot when you have a checklist that includes multiple locations or if no other hotspot or personal location is appropriate for your sightings.

The James River Park System includes parks, trails, and many eBird Hot Spots along the river through metropolitan Richmond City. Birding here provides year-round opportunities in a variety of habitats: river, wetlands, riparian woods, river islands, and more.
