On a lighter note, It was a very warm and pretty morning yesterday at Ferndale Park. The towpath between the canal and the Appomattox river was surprisingly free of debris. The river was steaming and had a very nice sound, and it didn't matter if there were not great-big numbers of birds. There were lots of Yellow-billed Cuckoos, and Red-eyed Vireos, and cardinals, and Blue Jays, and woodpeckers, and chickadees, and titmice, and crows and such...and the cutest, very young, quadruplet squirrels playing out of a tree den that you could ever see. We will do it again. John Coe You are subscribed to VA-Richmond-General. To unsubscribe, send email to va-richmond-general-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field.
