Hello Va-bird,
Enjoyed a half day down at Dutch Gap/Henricus. It was birdy! Probably got
binocs on about a quarter of the sparrows that showed themselves. All of
the waterfowl was seen along the entrane to the park. Didn't make it down
in time to join the Richmond Audubon so I birded solo.
List is below.
Best,
Ellison

Comments: Started by checking the marshy area along the entrance road;
scoped from both overlooks. Then walked along Henricus down to the
overlook and back. Finished with the big loop around Dutch Gap. Bumped
into the RAS group who was just finishing as I was just getting going.
