[va-richmond-general] Re: Golden-crowned Kinglet abundance

I have also noticed a great abundance of both species this
fall/winter.


>   Yes!!  Saw many at Rockwood Park this weekend, they are a site to
behold!  Watched several of them fluttering around the holly trees,
presumably gleaning berries, blooms and the odd insect.  Where did you
see the Kinglets, Wendy?

even several White-throated Sparrows at the feeder and picking the
berries off the Pyracantha.
