[va-richmond-general] Re: Titmouse Question

I have to agree here.  Al, weren't we over in Rockwood one time looking for
something we were surprised to realize was a titmouse?  I seem to recall us
looking for "what was THAT?" and upon finding it, remembering that titmice
seem to have more of a repetoire than (at least I) thought.
