Folks,
While at a conference in Williamsburg this weekend I managed to squeeze in some
birding - the opportunity being too good to pass up. Birded the restaurant pier
of the CBB&T and Back Bay NWR and was able to obtain a few life birds. Some of
the more interesting finds included:
a.. Ring-Billed Gull
b.. Herring Gull
c.. Laughing Gull
d.. Great Black-Backed Gull (LB)
e.. Lesser Black-Backed Gull (LB)
f.. Ruddy Turnstone
g.. Purple Sandpiper (LB)
h.. Black-Bellied Plover (LB)
i.. Dunlin (LB)
j.. Greater Scaup (LB)
k.. Sanderling
l.. Double-Crested Cormorant
m.. Great Blue Heron
n.. Great Egret
o.. Ruby-Crowned Kinglet
p.. Savannah Sparrow
q.. Yellow-Rumped Warbler
Photos can be viewed on my website at:

are incorrectly identified please let me know.
Meanwhile, still seeing good activity in the yard here in Elk Garden. So far
today have had visits from: Song Sparrow, Savannah Sparrow, Chipping Sparrow,

Enjoy the birds...
