A service of the Northern Neck Audubon Society---
Birds were feeding so avidly this afternoon I was inspired to make a quick
circuit of the thirty-odd acre field that comprises my "yard". I'm glad I did.
In addition to the cardinals, juncos, titmice, chickadees, towhees and
white-throated sparrows that were mobbing our feeders I had eastern blue birds,
robins, palm and yellow-dumped warblers, red-bellied and downy woodpeckers plus
flicker, great blue heron, ring-billed gull, hooded merganser and canada geese,
phoebe, ruby-crowned kinglet, bald eagle, sharp-shinned hawk, turkey vulture,
mockingbird, crow and blue jay; also song, savannah, chipping, field and vesper
sparrows; the vesper was a new yard bird for me. While I was away from the
house Sylvia noted a red-breasted nuthatch at the feeders.
