Subject: [va-bird] two days of birding
Hi all,
Les Brooks and I birded the swamp at Woods Edge Rd yesterday, as well as a
swampy field off Temple Rd in Colonial Heights. It was a very windy day,
with few birds. I returned to the same two spots today, and then birded my
neighborhood near Ironbridge Lake in Chester after returning home. Results
were much better today. Highlights were both orioles (pairs nest
building!), Great-crested Flycatcher, Indigo Bunting, Bobwhite, Bald Eagle,
Green Heron, Eastern Meadowlark, and a baby killdeer. Here's a full list of
