[va-richmond-general] Henricus 4/23/06

The fog lifted in time this morning, and I teamed up with one local birder  
(David, I'm sorry I didn't get your last name) and his friend John from out of  
town for a pleasant stroll around the one-mile loop at Henricus.   Highlights 
were SOLITARY SANDPIPER (good sighting, John), immature male ORCHARD  ORIOLES 
and PROTHONOTARY WARBLERS.  A  female Prothonotary was  investigating an 
open-top pipe at the edge of the first floating fishing  platform, oblivious to 
the adjacent fisherman.  None of the Prothonotaries  appeared to be banded.
