[va-richmond-general] Pocahontas State Park 8/7/04

Another beautiful morning for birding.  First I tried Dance Road (the  trail 
from the horse trailer parking lot on Beach Road) but it was impassable a  
short way down due to drainage work.  Then I went over to Beaver  Lake.  
Highlights include a Hooded Warbler family with young right at the  edge of the 
horse 
trailer parking lot, and 3 Great Egrets at Beaver Lake.   Beaver Lake is 
filling in rapidly, the mudflats are now vegetated with even some  small shrubs.
