There were about a dozen participants for this morning's Chesterfield  County 
walk at Henricus this morning.  The highlights were the LEAST  BITTERN seen 
by Tyler Turpin and myself around 7:50 AM, and heard by some of the  group as 
we left at the end of the trip; a very cooperative pair of BLUE  GROSBEAKS; a 
nesting female Cardinal and a GREEN HERON that strayed into a  Red-winged 
Blackbird's nesting territory and was summarily chased away.
