Greetings all,
I'm currently visiting Virginia Beach on an extended memorial weekend and am
hopeful that some of you could give me some spots for a few target species I
would like to observe on my stay.
Can anyone point me to where I can find these following birds, I'm able to
drive a couple hours from Virginia Beach.
Swainson's Warbler
Kentucky Warbler
Red-headed Woodpecker
I would be very grateful for any information, thanks!

Hey y'all, I'm going to Garrett County, Maryland this weekend to try to see
Golden-Winged Warblers, Black Billed Cuckoo and Upland Sandpiper. I know
where to see the Upland Sandpipers, but does anyone know the best place to
see Golden-Winged Warblers and Black-Billed Cuckoo. Also, does anyone know
how to get to Old Legislative Road in Frostburg, Maryland because I want to
see Henslow's Sparrows and I lost directions to this place. Any suggestions
would be appreciative. Thanks!
Daniel
