[va-richmond-general] P. Falcons, B. Eagle,...

Jan Fry-Johnson asked me to send this to the list-serve because she can?t. The 
following are her observations.
Saturday, March 20th:  She saw ?two pairs of Peregrine Falcons above the 
parking lot at West End Assembly of God.? (Jan has seen the falcons downtown.) 
Two of the birds were chasing each other as if one was defending territory. Jan 
thought one pair might try to nest under the Willey Bridge. She asked others to 
let her know if they saw Peregrines on the Willey Bridge, 393-0463.
Sunday, March 21st: At Bryan Park, she saw two American Kestrels together. One 
had a snake in its talon and the pair was seen in the meadow area of the park.

These are my observations:
Saturday, March 20th: Shelter Cove parking area, Wood Lake, Rte, 360, 8-9:30 
am. Two Canada geese mated in front of several cub scouts and their dads!(Those 
naughty birds!) An adult Bald Eagle was seen circling above and moving towards 
the water. Twelve coots were observed on the far side of the water. Two Phoebes 
were flying back and forth in front of a building. Wetlands 10:45-12:00: The 
Widgeon is still on the pond while two separate groups of yellow-rumped 
warblers moved through the understory. Darbytown Road, east of 295 near a 
swamp, 4-6 pm: Barred Owl calling, Downy, Hairy, Pileated woodpeckers seen and 
heard. A female Hairy Woodpecker worked for several minutes on a dead snag.

On Saturday, March 20th at 42nd  Street and Reedy Creek, the water monitoring 
group witnessed two Red-tailed Hawks mating (info from Robin Ruth).
Last but not least: Birders wanted for 13.5 acre farm off Darbytown Road. House 
and barn built around 1900. Elderly couple wants to sell to birder. For more 
info, call 270-5365.
