To start out February, my mom and I went birding in northwestern Augusta and Rockingham Counties today and we could not have asked for better weather or better birds!
On Badger Road, a location familiar for being one of the few spots in the area where you can reliably find Red-headed Woodpeckers, we found them as well as a PEREGRINE FALCON! Those were both new "year birds".
We also found American Tree Sparrow, Canvasback, and either a Common or Red-breasted Merganser as new 2012 year birds for me. My 2012 year total is now 91 species. I will update when I get an ID on the merganser from some more expert birders.
Enjoy a few photos from today. Gabriel
