[va-richmond-general] Ashland Trolley Line and vicinity walk Sat. 4/28

17 other birders joined Linda and me on the walk this past Saturday. Weather 
was great even if a little cloudy in the beginning but as it turned out it was 
a great day for birding. A total of 63 birds was seen including the adult bald 
eagle Linda saw later after the walk. We enjoyed having all of you who 
participated and hope to see you again.
