[va-richmond-general] York River and Taskinas Creek

Had a beautiful paddle today hugging the shoreline along the York River until 
we could slip into the gentle paddling of Taskinas Creek. Most bird activity 
seemed to be out in the "Big Water" with great looks  at Green Herons, Bald 
Eagles and fish-carrying Osprey. Refreshing to have a blue sky with puffy white 
clouds on a hot August day.  Fish broke water all through the day and the mud 
flats were alive with crabs zigging and zagging into their holes.

Highlights:

Brown Pelican
Great Blue Heron
Green Heron (many)
Osprey
Bald Eagle
Laughing Gull
Yellow-billed Cuckoo
Ruby-throated Humingbird
Belted Kingfisher
Eastern Wood Pewee
Acadian Flycatcher
PrairieWarbler
Orchard Oriole
...and other expected birds of the woodlands.

Great day-will sleep well tonight.
