Saw on April 12th at the Great Dismal Swamp in Virginia:


Swainson's Warbler


Running total: 79


(A note about the picture: It is of terrible quality. I actually watched this bird for several seconds as it sat motionless on a tree limb after having been flushed from it's foraging on the ground. I immediately ruled out wrens - I know what wrens are. The only other possible contender was the Louisiania Watersthrush, but this bird had no streaking on its breast - what look like streaks in the photo are actually branches)

(after subtracting the birds I ticked on my vacation last week, I have now passed my 2005 local area year list!)

One of my stated goals in lvn600's What are your birding goals for 2006? thread was to hit my 2005 local list year total within 3 months. Well, I missed it by 2 weeks. But I still consider it a success!
