We took the bikes and the kids and rode the trail at Dutch Gap today. We
birded mostly by ear and stopped in a few places. The only species I have
to add to Seth's report from the same morning is a BLUE-HEADED VIREO. It
was in the trees across from the visitor center parking lot, near the bluff
which overlooks the marsh. This is a new life bird for me! The
prothonotary and yellow-throated warblers were singing heartily on this
beautiful morning. What fun!
Also, we have a new bluebird hatchling that just hatched this morning, here
in our yard in Chester. I'll be waiting during the next 24 hours for the
other 4 eggs to hatch.
