A wonderful morning at Henricus/Dutch Gap!! that included FOS Prothonotary Warblers (real early birds!), and 6 Great Egrets back in the tidal marsh. The Yellow-throated Warblers and Blue-gray Gnatcatchers were singing everywhere as were several Ruby-crowned Kinglets. The pair of Blue-winged Teal in the marsh near the 1st observation platform was a treat, too!
