[va-bird] Duck pictures from Huntley Meadows

Thursday mid-day at Huntley Meadows found amazing numbers of FISH CROW, 
as well as AMERICAN CROW, all quite active and very noisy. There were a 
goodly number of GREEN-WINGED TEAL present (pix), but I did not see the 
Eurasian Teal. Also noted were a fair number of NORTHERN PINTAIL 
(including some in the Barnyard Run area); about one-half dozen NORTHERN 
SHOVELER (m&f, pix); and a pair of GADWALL (Barnyard Run, pix). The usual 
MALLARDS and RING-BILLED GULLS were present on good number, as well as 
many SONG SPARROWS (cute pix).

I saw a KINGLET (Golden-crowned, I think) and CHICKADEES along the 
woodland path to the water. I also thought I heard a KINGFISHER.

The pictures of the Teal, Shovelers, and Gadwall on on Page 1 of my 
Huntley folder, and the Sparrow is the first picture on Page 2.
