VA Birders,
I went for my ridge top bike ride this morning. The ride that normally takes
about half an hour took me about 2 hours. The reason? I ran into birds. I
always take along a pair of binocs, and this morning I was glad I did. I
logged 41 species. The highlights of the trip were a singing male
Golden-winged Warbler, a male Cerulean Warbler and a male Chestnut-sided
Warbler. Following is the complete list:
