To the BCBC members/listserve and Thornhills birding in the sunny southlands; I second Roger's motion to Jerry and Jane---keep those sunny south birding reports coming. Let us know there is some place not frozen over and you don't have to skate across the lawn keeping the feeders filled for our little frozen avian friends ! Go, team Thornhill ! Have a great trip and keep up the good birding reports from sunny south !

If we can't be there ourselves, we can at least enjoy the birds and the warm weather vicariously through your posts.

We reached a high of 52º. While the main goal today was to cover some 356 miles between Savannah, GA and Fort Pierce, FL, we did manage to work in some birding. Some highlights: 2 adult Bald Eagles, 7 Hooded Mergansers from about 25 feet in a rest area pond, a Little Blue Heron from about 30 feet, and a Wood Stork fly-over about 20 feet directly overhead. We had 35 species for the day. Tomorrow we expect to do more birding and less driving. I will quit sending these messages if anyone objects. I know that this has nothing to do with Southwest Virginia birding. Send an e-mail that says stop and I will. No hard feelings.
