The Virginia Society for Ornithology is conducting a breeding bird survey of all the Virginia State Parks June 2-10.
Today a man from the local bird club and I birded Chippokes Plantaion State Park in Surry Co.
We got 67 species all totalled, but I missed seeing/hearing 12. Mostly we birded by ear, which I'm still working on. Besides hearing the Bobwhites and seeing the Eastern Meadowlarks, the greatest moment came almost at the end of the morning when a Mississippi Kite flew over us.
Life Bird!! Woo hoo!
Hopefully, now that I've spent two hours finding the beading materials I wanted to work with all afternoon, this evening will be as good as this morning.
