Welcome to Discover the James

For over 20 years, Discover the James remains your source for the best wildlife adventure in Richmond, Virginia. "To educate and inspire" while viewing wildlife and history on the river has always been my main goal. The James, in many ways, is as it has been for 15,000 years, but to find it you have to look and listen to the elements around you.

DiscovertheJames.com shares our river adventures through text, images and stories. Discover the majesty of the James!

Top Photo: This photographic collage is a mixture of "Varina", a resident bald eagle, perched with the evening moon behind her, and Capt. John Smith's map of 1612. The photo of Varina was taken by Lynda Richardson during a Bald Eagle Tour. Varina was perched on the top of a tree, and evening moon was setting in the southwestern sky, offering up the perfect background. --Photo by Lynda Richardson, Collage by Discover the James
