Hi Margaret. OCWA is an orange crowned warbler.? COGO is a Common Goldeneye,
and CANV is a canvasback.?I have to figure these out from immediately previous
posts.?Not being retired or otherwise able to dedicate most of my immediate
mental RAM to research on a topic that I only have time to review briefly, I
end up just skipping the posts that are mostly "coded" birds.?I greatly
appreciate those who take the time to type?names out, and here's a shout-out
thank you to all who do!

Margaret,
This is the link to the 4-letter codes for each species.? They're used by bird
banders and birders who still have some memory left for new information.?

I walked Riverside Drive from the Huguenot Flatwater section of James
River Park down to the Z Dam this morning. The only new duck was a lone
Common Goldeneye, hanging with the Ring-Necked Ducks near the Huguenot
Flatwater canoe ramp. I concur with Jan's earlier observation that the
Ring-Necked Ducks are more numerous along this stretch. Along the trail
from the Riverside Drive parking to the river, I had a couple of
frustratingly brief glances at a bird that I would like to call an
Orange-crowned Warbler, but I just never got a good enough look to be
sure. The best looks I got were of yellowish undertail coverts. The one
very brief "whole bird" view I got left me with the impression of an
overall drab olive browish bird without strong facial markings. Based on
its foraging behavior, I was thinking "kinglet," but the look was good
enough to convince me it wasn't either of them. Anyway, keep your eyes
peeled, as OC Warbler has been spotted farther downriver recently.
Good birding,
Lewis
