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.
