My mom, Shirley Justus, and I braved the early morning misty rain to bird
on Guesses Fork, today. Birds were very active at first, but by about 10
a.m., the rain was heavy and the birds apparently sought shelter, as did
we. Went back out for an hour or so around noon and added a few more
species to our list, for a total of 32, including my FOS Cerulean, which I
posted from the field in my excitement.
