Acadian Flycatcher


Powhatan Creek Trail is a favorite of mine, and of Brian Taber's.  Yesterday Brian gave me precise directions to this Acadian Flycatcher nest, which I visited today.  Not long after arriving I was able to get this shot.  I look forward to seeing little ones before too long.

Rare Garganey in Virginia

This striking bird, found at Chincoteague NWR on May 4, was a long way from home...Europe and central Asia, wintering in Africa and southern Asia. This photo was taken May 5th. There were other spring records of this migratory species this year from Newfoundland and Nova Scotia.
