I birded along Mossy Creek in Rockingham and Augusta County for about 1
hour. I covered about 5 miles by recumbent bike. Best sighting was an Osprey
with fish perched ~100 feet away on a low limb. He seemeed to be in no hurry
to eat the fish. He just sat there with wet head feathers ruffled into a
tempory crest looking around. I was surprised he didn't take off when I
stopped to view him through bins but he just sat there. I watched him for 10
minutes or so and continued my bike ride.
other highlights include:
6 + purple finches (all females or imm males)
1 Great blue heron
15 Eastern Meadowlarks
2-Eastern Phoebes
