Va-birders:
  
1. I saw a Brown Creeper nipping suet from a friend's feeder in a backyard 
in Williamsburg. This was far from the old growth habitat i associate with 
this species. Is this a strange sighting for this area at this time of 
year?

2. In the afternoon on Saturday at Old Dominion Univ. in Norfolk, a very 
loud bird was calling constantly from atop the building next door to the 
Batten Arts and Letters Bldg. (This is building 38 on the campus map, the 
one with the satellites on top -- i dont know the name). It's call had 
three stanzas, each about the same length, was very loud, and was repeated 
identically each time. Has anyone heard this particular bird (folks said 
it has been there a while) or know what type of bird it might be? My first 
thought was some type of gull or a red-shouldered hawk, but it doesnt 
match my CDs. The middle stanza was a repetitive crow-like sound, the 
others more subdued.

Thanks
