Potomac Valley Audubon takes a trip to the Delaware Shore
PVAS sponsored a birding trip to the Eastern Shore of Delaware August 3-5. Mattt Orsie led the trip. Eight participants visited Cape Henlopen SP, Prime Hook NWR, Mispillion Harbor, and Bombay Hook NWR over one and one days. Temperatures ranged between 90-94 for daytime highs and lows were only in the mid seventies. We all baked but had a great time with 22 shorebird species and 97 species total.
Welcome to the PVAS Birding Blog
This blog is dedicated to sights and sounds of bird life. While the primary focus will be of birds seen in the Eastern Panhandle of WV (Morgan, Berkeley, Jefferson counties) and Washington county, MD, it will also cover travels to the rest of the state and an occasional sortie out of state. I hope you enjoy your visit and if your a member of PVAS please consider contributing from time to time.
