This statuesque finial at Berkeley Plantation in Charles City County provides a suitable perch for a male Northern Cardinal whose plumage reflects the worn nature of the cast stone. Robert discovered the architectural element during a field trip to the plantation as part of the 2007 Maymont - VCU Discovery Institute’s lecture series, “Historical Perspectives on Birding Along the James River.”
