[va-richmond-general] Henricus 3/25/05

No Yellow-throated Warblers yet at Henricus this morning, but there must  
have been at least 20 Swamp Sparrows along the boardwalk.  One Great Blue  and 
several Canada Goose pairs seem to be nesting.  Wintering  waterfowl numbers 
are 
way down from last weekend - the only ones left were  Ringnecks, in with 
about a half dozen coots.  (I finally got my Virginia  year coot, after being 
cootless in the state last year.)
 
Complete list
 
Pied-billed Grebe
Double-crested Cormorant
Great Blue Heron - nesting
Canada Goose - nesting

Dark-eyed Junco

Can't believe what I missed - Blue Jay, Titmouse, White breasted  Nuthatch.  
No vultures - I guess the cool damp conditions kept them in  bed.
