John and I are just back from the 15th Eastern Shore Birding and Wildlife
Festival - headquartered in Cape Charles this year for the first time (lots of
rain for the last 2 years forced the move to an "indoor headquarters and
display area" in the Cape Charles Volunteer Fire Company Complex.
Highlights and low lights: an Eared Grebe, Western Kingbird and 2 sightings
of an immature Golden Eagle made folks excited - the continued poor weather
patterns resulted in very low total birds banded at the Kiptopeke banding
station this weekend (2 bird on Friday and 9 on Saturday).
But again this year the general enthusiasm around the event and the fantastic
Eastern Shore habitats resulted in happy participants and volunteers!
