[va-richmond-general] August birding-wee...

Birding has been slow at best in Chester during these dog days of August.
However in the backyard tonight I counted 17 Cardinals in all sorts of
plumages. 2 Towhees were scratching under the bird bath as well as 3-5 Brown
Thrashers. Pine warblers were trilling in the tree-tops. Ruby-throated
hummingbirds are aggressively draining the feeders and the garden has had a
good variety of butterflies including a Monarch chrysalis I am keeping a
photographer's vigil on.
On a sad note a Juvenile Grey Catbird hit the window today and used up all 9
lives in one fail swoop.
Most of the birds are looking pretty rough-still keeping them fed and watered
and looking forward to another round of migration.
