Hello Everyone, This morning I had the pleasure of a spring visit to Dutch Gap. I had a wonderful time and saw 42 species in all. Highlights were 14 singing Yellow-throated Warblers (at least four of which I was able to see - beautiful!), 5 Pine Warblers, 4 Osprey, 2 singing Ruby-crowned Kinglets, a Field Sparrow and what I think were 3 Savannah Sparrows.
