[va-richmond-general] Rockwood Park's birds

The day was lovely, and here's who was out and about:
Carolina Wren (serenading nicely)        Redbellied Woodpecker*        Tufted 
Titmouse        Carolina Chickadee

Northern Cardinal        Double-crested Cormorant        Canada Goose        
Osprey (clutching fish)

Redtailed Hawk (a pair doing aerial displays)        Eastern Towhee*        
Green Heron        Fish Crow

Turkey, Black Vulture(s)        Tree Swallow        Mallard Duck        Palm 
Warbler        Hermit Thrush (pair)

Ruby-crowned Kinglet (a little group, singing amongst the holly trees)        
Common Grackle

Red-winged Blackies        American Robin        Louisiana Waterthrush (yes, I 
am sure it's L. and not N.)

Barred Owl*        Hairy Woodpecker (f)        Ovenbird        White-breasted 
Nuthatch

Belted Kingfisher        Swamp Sparrow        White-throated Sparrow, tan

When I first spotted one of the Redtails, it was flying toward a stand of pine 
trees; as it neared, the Osprey popped out the top of the grove, whistling in 
protest.  Poor Osprey!
