[WEalding@xxxxxxx]

I spent an hour or so at Henricus this morning, then went over to Battery 
Dantzler.  I am embarrassed to say that despite living in the area for 27 years 
I 
had never been to Battery Dantzler.  It's a small Civil War site across the 
slough from Henricus; directions can be found at 
http://www.dgif.state.va.us/wildlife/vbwt/site.asp?trail=1&site=CAP04&loop=CAP
 
The wind kept stuff down this morning, very few ducks left.  Many 
Yellow-throated Warblers singing and Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers much in evidence; 
nice 
breeding plumage Swamp Sparrows still around.  No sign of the Glossy Ibis that 
was 
reported last week.
