Birds of Northern Virginia: Hawks, owls, herons and woodpeckers


My interest in the birds of Northern Virginia expands beyond my bird feeder. I’ve taken photos in my yard of a barred owl, red-shouldered hawk and pileated woodpecker.
My suet feeder attracts the downy woodpecker, but I don’t have any good photos to share.
In my neighborhood and park walks, I’ve seen the great blue heron, mallard ducks and tons of Canada geese (which are a messy nuisance). I’ve seen robins, crows and vultures as well.
