[va-richmond-general] Dutch Gap

On a hike Linda & I did all the way to the end of the 4-mile trail on Tuesday, 
we saw more Golden-crowned Kinglets (about 200) than we have ever seen on one 
day before. There were also about 20-30 Ruby-crowned Kinglets. They were as 
close to us as 2 feet at times. We also got good looks at a Black & White 
Warbler. These were all in the last 2 miles, past the maintenance facility. 
There were plenty of other birds, including several species of sparrows & 
woodpeckers but those were the most spectacular. There were very few ducks in 
that area. Lots of Canada Geese and Great Blue Herons. One tree near the 
maintenance facility but closer to the power plant had 5 GBH nests in it.
