Spring Bird Count
The Williamsburg Bird Club held its annual spring bird count on April 29. These American White Pelicans were present on the Hog Island Sector in Surry County ... one displayed the unusual breeding bill plate. American White Pelicans have been seen there since April 4. As a special bonus, this frisky mink also scampered past.
