[va-bird] Munch time

Hey there VAbirders!

The birds keep coming, yeehah!

Just now, watching out the window, munching on an orange, I saw a Brown 
Thrasher fly past my face, about 2' away on the other side of the 
window.  It flew into one of our big spruces.  Dripping orange I grabbed my 
binox and ran to look out the window near that spruce.  Looking down I 
could see the Brown Thrasher on the ground.  He was munching too, but not 
on an orange, he was munching a cicada nymph.  Yum yum yum!

I called to my daughter and said, "Come look at the thrasher in the Redbud 
tree!"  She joined me and said, "It's not in the Redbud."  I pointed at the 
thrasher and said, "Yes it is, right there!"  "Not in the Redbud," she 
repeated.  And surprised, I saw she was looking at another Brown Thrasher 
sitting a few feet away from the first.  Indeed she was correct yet again, 
for her thrasher was in the Black Chokeberry.  She always finds birds I 
don't see!
