I visited various locations in King William County this morning. Waterfowl are
starting to accrue in the various ponds and rivers with Canada Geese,
Ring-necked Ducks and Black Ducks leading the way. Shorebirds included many
Dunlin, Dowitcher sp., Lesser & Greater Yellowlegs and Least Sandpipers as I
happen to hit the area at low tide. Best bird of the day was a late male
Yellow Warbler observed on private land near "the Pocket" (bottom of page
images, poor quality due to movement of bird):

Also observed in the same tree and actually what drew my attention to the
Yellow Warbler was a scolding Northern Oriole (last images on page).

Also in the fields with the Canada Geese were a couple of Cackling Geese (last
images on page):
