[va-richmond-general] Lots of Birds

This weekend has been a nice weekend for backyard birdwatching at my house. I 
saw a red shouldered hawk again very briefly yesterday morning. Yesterday 
afternoon we had a visit from a downy woodpecker.  Chickadees and finches are 
becoming regulars at our feeder, and even fly up when I'm outside on the porch. 
Also yesterday, we had a male cardinal come right up on our porch and today a 
female came up with the finches. A very small tufted timouse came up today.  As 
I was sitting on the porch this afternoon, a male white breasted nuthatch flew 
up and checked out the feeder.  I know these are pretty common birds, but for a 
novice, it's pretty neat getting an opportunity to see them up close and 
identifying them.
