[va-bird] Henricus 2/29/04

I birded Henricus/Dutch Gap Conservation Area between 8:30 and 10:30 am this 
morning.  Highlights were a nice pair of Common Mergansers, 7 Wilson's Snipe, 
Osprey and Tree Swallows.  The mergansers were a short distance down the 
Conservation Trail from the Visitor Center, a little way out from the drainage 
culvert opposite the enormous house on the far bank.  The snipe were feeding on 
a 
mudflat visible from the observation blind just past the 0.5 mile mark.
