CBC Northern Virginia

Yesterday there was an area wide Christmas Bird Count. I took part with my friend Renee who is a much better birder than I am. No pics, too cold, but we had a great day, including one new life bird for me--the redbreasted nuthatch! Renee is incredibly good at spotting birds. Here's the list:

redbreasted nuthatch
hermit thrush
2 pileated woodpeckers and a possible nesting site
red bellied woodpecker
downy
yellowbellied sapsucker
northern flicker
bald eagle
golden crowned kinglet
song sparrow
white throated sparrow
red tailed hawk
blue jay
morning dove
titmouse
chickadee
cardinal
American crow
mallards
Canada geese
