At Henricus Park in Chesterfield Co. this morning I observed a gnatcatcher 
nest-building.  The nest appeared practically complete, and was about 20 feet 
off the ground on a horizontal branch of a willow.  Too bad its too high to 
observe eggs.  They sure get to work right away as they can't have arrived 
until the last days of March or very early April.  This contrasts with  L. 
Waterthrush, which have basically the same arrival dates, but don't get around 
to nest building for several  weeks.
