I made a quick trip to Richmond to attend a family funeral and stayed, as always, with my mother out near Tuckahoe Creek just inside the county line. She had, in addition to the regulars, a male indigo bunting visiting her feeders. This morning I heard a wood thrush singing, probably in the woods along the creek, and, much to my surprise, I heard, very clearly, a fish crow. I hear fish crows regularly 9 to 10 months a year here in Fayetteville, so I'm thoroughly familiar with their calls. However, this was my first one in the Richmond area. How common are they along the James and its tributaries in the Greater Richmond area? Bob -- -------------------------------------------------- Robert C.
