Spring Migrants

Spent a couple hours birding this morning at Occoquan Bay NWR (VA), and found some new spring birds. The most beautiful was a gorgeous male Yellow-throated Warbler. I was also happy to find a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. And there were lingering winter ducks as well: 3 Redhead, lots of Ruddy Ducks, as well as Ring-Necked Ducks, Lesser Scaup, Horned Grebes, Gadwall, and American Wigeon.

Osprey have returned and are nesting.
