[va-richmond-general] Backyard Birding

My backyard has been busy for birds this morning.  I've had several chickadees, 
a white-breasted nuthatch (so pretty!) (I think there's two...one had a bright 
blue back, and I just saw another that seemed to have more muted colors - male 
and female?), a tufted titmouse and Mr. Cardinal just flew up.  As I was 
watching them, two mourning doves just landed and a red shouldered hawk flew 
right overhead and perched in a tree right across the pond, presumably looking 
for a little breakfast himself.  There were a couple more little brown birds 
that I don't know the names of yet dropping in as well. 
I wish I had more time to observe the hawk, but duty calls and I must get ready 
for work.
