Just back from a 3-week Roadtrek-Trip spending a little time with family & friends and a lot of quality time with HB and mother nature. The catalyst was going to my nephew Matt's wedding in Ohio.
Notable attendees included g-bby Callopie Jynx, papa Josh,
moma Mollie (OMG, that's my baby girl) and g-mama Donna.
We then birded our way across the north shore of Lake Erie. Spending a couple of days at the spring warbler migration mecca of North America, Pelee Point, Ontario.
Typical tourista picture, but we have proof we were there!
This was our best Peele birding picture - maybe size really does matter.
We rediscovered the joys of bicycling and found bike-birding on our new Electra Townies to be very rewarding on Pelee Island. We circumnavigated about half the island and added several birds to our trip list.
We visited the Mom in NJ for a few days doing some fix up, tidy up projects and hauling out some "junk" that was under her saddle. And then, ahhhhh, we scooted down the NJ Parkway, took the Cape May Ferry, hit the LL Bean Outlet store in Rehoboth Beach, and spent one whole luxurious week at the Green Heron on Chincoteague Island, VA. Our little place in the marsh.
HB & Me went to the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge (CNWR), home of the Chincoteague "Wild" Ponies every day, sometimes twice a day.
This little guy couldn't have been more than a day or so old.
Chincoteague has it all.
We added new birds to our trip list every day we visited the refuge. The last evening HB spotted this Black-Crowned Night Heron that pushed our 3-week trip list to 140 different species birds. With the couple of new warblers we picked up in Ontario, our life list now stands at 403.
