Family days at home. Volume 1.
Here are some pictures of birds seen at Adam and Jean's home in Richmond VA, in the garden (or yard as they say here in USA). Most are not scarce or rare but none of them are normally found in the UK.

| Downy Wodpecker male Library picture |
This is the smallest woodpecker in the USA and closely resembles our Lesser-spotted Woodpecker in size at least. This species,however, is not the least bit elusive or rare and regularly turns up at the bird feeder. The female has no red patch.

This small bird is similar to our Coal Tit/Marsh Tit/ Willow Tit.

This stunning medium-sized woodpecker (about the same size as the Hairy Woodpecker) came to the feeder and was regularly seen in the trees in the yard.
