[va-bird] Sandhill Crane-Charlottesville

  My sister-in law and husband (long time birders) are in town on their way 
to Indonesia and we birded several places in Charlottesville today. Around 2:00 
at River Park off Chesapeake Street we saw an adult Sandhill Crane flying 
over the park itself. It circled in large circles several times gaining height 
and disappeared to the north. We watched it for about 10-15 minutes. Also the 
Blue Gray Gnatcatcher in my back yard has hatched its eggs and is busily 
feeding 
the babies in that incredible lichen encrusted volcano looking nest they 
make. And the Tree Swallow babies in the Martin house(had the house 12 years, 
have 
had 7 species nest in it, but never Purple Martins) are starting to poke 
their heads out of the nest hole and be curious about the world.
