[va-richmond-general] Re: 10 minutes at Henricus

Does the Myrtle Warbler have another name?  It's not listed in Peterson's 
Eastern & Central N.A. Guide.

I haven't identified any terns.  Are they relatively common in this area?  I 
walk by the James often.  Am I likely to see them among the gulls?

  A quick dash to Henricus after a milk and bread run at the store was a breath 
of fresh air. Highlights in about 10 minutes:

  Gadwall
  American Wigeon
  Wood duck (all drakes 8+)
  Mallard
  Northern Shoveler
  Canada Goose
  Great Blue Heron-(very frisky-none smoking and some sitting in nests)
  American Kestrel
   Eastern Phoebe
  Northern Flicker
  Myrtle Warbler
  Ruby crowned Kinglet
  Belted Kingfisher
  Eastern Bluebird
  Forster's Tern...
  and a very impresssive Beaver lodge. 

  * Had 1 Female Purple Finch in the yard in Chester today along with Yellow 
Bellied Sapsucker, Brown Creeper and Red-shouldered Hawk.5 turkeys were 
foraging up the road on Christmas Eve-Eve.
