["Bruce Miller" <redtail565@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Virginia Birders,

Thanks everyone who responded to my plea for help in finding birding 
locations near Virginia Beach.  The vacation turned out to be very nice.  It 
was shortened by 2 days, so we cut out the trip to Chincoteague.  I spent 
most my time at Lynnhaven Inlet and Back Bay.  I didn?t get anything 
special, but at least I got out.  It was hot, hot, hot.  Unfortunately, the 
tide was always high in the mornings and low in the afternoon.  There were 
rails calling from the high grasses at Lynnhaven, but with the water being 
so high, I never got a look at any of them.

This past year I started taking pictures to go along with my birding. Here 
is a link to some photos I took.  I numbered the pictures and put ??? by a 
few I?m having trouble identifying.  I?m just not very good at shorebirds or 
gulls.  Please let me know if you can.
Here is a link to the birds:

I also got to take some pictures of some butterflies and a particularly 
friendly dragon fly.  I?m even worse at identifying these, so again, if you 
know what they are, please tell me.

If any of you ever find yourself in Ohio, let me know, I hook you up with 
the hot spots!

Good Birding,
Bruce
