[va-richmond-general] Re: Misc. +ear birding

Thank you, Paul.  The first bird was, according to my husband, who heard it and 
whistled it for me, the black-capped chickadee.  Perfectly clear when we played 
the cd. This is interesting because in previous years I have had chickadees at 
my feeder here and have struggled with which ones they were (wanting to make 
them black-capped), but I have been told that there are only Carolina's here.  
Oddly, this year, my feeder has no chickadees, but all the other usual 
suspects, so I can't do a visual again.

  Could they be expanding? I know they are an the western/northern side of the 
valley.

The second bird is not a cuckoo or an oven bird.  It is a hollow monotone 
repeated at even intervals about 7 to 9 times.  I have heard it more than once, 
but not often.
