[va-richmond-general] late posting: Nottoway River Sat March 28 and Chester sightings

While checking out some kayaking launch sites along the Nottoway on Saturday the Yellow-throated warblers were singing literally everywhere. One tree had 2 Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers and a Yellow-throated warbler at the same time. Three Great Egrets were seen near Purdy.

In Chester I kicked up about 5 Snipe behind our house later Sat. afternoon and also watched a Greater Yellowlegs working the swamp. Chickadees have an almost completed nest in one of our Bluebird Boxes, a Female Wood Duck is sitting tight in one of our boxes and the Brown-headed Nuthatches continue to feast on Safflower.

Enjoy the spring!
