On another exciting note, two western species have shown up on the Eastern Shore of Virginia in the past two days.  A Western Kingbird was identified on Route 600 just south of Jones Cove Road on September 9 2014 and a Swainson's Hawk was spotted flying high over the hawk watch platform and headed south today. What will show up next?
