<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThe star of the show during this trip was the prothonotary warbler, which were abundant at a place called the Pony Pasteur. This was exciting for me since it was a life bird (hard to come by these days).<\/p>\n\n\n
As you might remember from my last post that we went east from Oregon to Brooklyn to visit our son and his family. We actually have two sons that live on the east coast with our oldest son and daughter-in-law living in Richmond, VA. So, as part of our journey east we stopped to visit them as well, and of course took several birding excursions. Unlike my youngest son in Brooklyn who has no interest in birding (he will teach our grandkids common bird names but it will be up to me to get binoculars in their hands) my oldest son is a biologist like me and we have birded together many times. The photo below shows the two of us working the birds at Hunn Nature Park during our visit.<\/p>\n\n\n
