[va-bird] Red Shouldered Hawk Nest and First Indigo Bunting. Appomattox Cty and Campbell C

Yesterday, April  25, Rexanne Bruno and I went over to the Stonewall  section 
of Appomattox County to check on the hawk's nest.  The female is  still 
sitting quietly on the nest so it doesn't seem that the eggs have hatched  yet. 
 We 
first spotted the nest on April 8 so it seems that there should be  chicks 
soon.
    In the same area, we saw several orchard orioles,  the first of the 
season for us.
    Later we went into Campbell County and saw our  first indigo bunting of 
the season.  There were also many yellowthroats,  blue-grey gnatcatchers and 
white throat sparrows but  no other warblers  were observed.
