Jane Tarter and I observed a Raven in the 1400 block of East Commerce Road in south Richmond at 5:30 in the afternoon of Wednesday, 9 March 2005. It flew off to the east into an area we could not reach, and we did not see it again. Each morning for the last week I have seen a large bird on the nest in the James River east of the Ninth Street bridge, where Ospreys have nested for the past several years, but the nest is between the bridge and the sun, and I haven't identified the bird. Nearly every morning for the last two weeks I have seen one or two falcons at or near the BB&T nest site that produced chicks each of the last two years. If I recall aright, the female laid eggs during the first week of March last year. Brent Tarter btarter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx You are subscribed to VA-Richmond-General.
