[va-richmond-general] Unusual birds at feeder

Hello, I just joined the list.   We have also had robins at our feeders this 
week.   The bluebirds started coming a couple of weeks ago when it got very 
cold - they love hulled sunflower seeds.   This week we saw two birds we've 
have never seen before: a veery, and  brown-headed nuthatch.    I had to look 
them up in the guidebook!   We keep sunflower seeds in the feeders, but I have 
found by putting hulled seeds in the feeder at my kitchen window,  a great 
variety of birds will come to get this treat!

We live in southwestern Chesterfield County in a subdivision with wooded areas.
