Hello VA-Birders,
In addition to spending lots of time in the field the past 2 1/2 days chasing
Ernesto birds, I have been compiling as many of the area sightings as possible,
including DE, MD, VA, DC and the Carolinas. Below is a list of more notable
state or regional birds many folks reported over that time. There were also a
few reports of Sooty Terns in PA and an American Oystercatcher in PA. Sorry if
I missed anything. Feel free to let me know if I did miss anything so I can
add it to the list. Enjoy!
