Michael, As part of the nationwide Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship Project run by the Institute for Bird Populations (Point Reyes, CA.), Mary Arginteanu, Larry Robinson, John Dillard and I along with several dedicated volunteer assistants band out there regularly from late May to early August. For 2003 and 2004, the alphabetical list of the 67 species either banded, heard, or seen at the site (i.e. within 100 meters of any of our 15 nets which surround the middle of the three lakes) is as follows: Acadian Flycatcher American Crow American Goldfinch American Redstart Black-and-White Warbler Belted Kingfisher Blue-gray Gnatcatcher Brown-headed Cowbird Bicknell's Thrush Blue Grosbeak Blue Jay Black Vulture Brown Thrasher Carolina Chickadee Canada Goose Carolina Wren Canada Warbler Cedar Waxwing Chimney Swift Common Yellowthroat Downy Woodpecker Eastern Kingbird Eastern Towhee Eastern Phoebe Eastern Wood-Pewee Field Sparrow Great Blue Heron Great Crested Flycatcher Great Horned Owl Gray Catbird Green Heron Hairy Woodpecker Hooded Warbler Indigo Bunting Kentucky Warbler Louisiana Waterthrush Mallard Magnolia Warbler Mourning Dove Northern Bobwhite Northern Cardinal Northern Mockingbird Northern Parula Orchard Oriole Osprey Ovenbird Pine Warbler Pileated Woodpecker Prairie Warbler Purple Martin Red-bellied Woodpecker Red-eyed Vireo Ruby-throated Hummingbird Scarlet Tanager Summer Tanager Swainson's Thrush Traill's Flycatcher Tufted Puffin Turkey Vulture White-breasted Nuthatch White-eyed Vireo Worm-eating Warbler Wilson's Storm-Petrel Wood Thrush Yellow-breasted Chat Yellow-billed Cuckoo Yellow-shafted Flicker Yellow-throated Vireo Bob Reilly ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Shapiro" <sc.tanager@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Richmond listserv" <VA-richmond-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, August 22, 2004 5:05 PM Subject: [va-richmond-general] Powhatan Wildlife Management Area - 8/22/04 > A brief stop (about an hour/hour and a half) at the Powhatan WMA late this morning/early this afternoon produced the following birds and butterflies: > BIRDS: > N.
