[va-richmond-general] Eastern Shore Birding and Wildlife Festival

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!
