I have a great dentist, but he is over 2 hours away in Fredericksburg, Va. I love going to the dentist! Afterwards I get to go birding over in that area, which always yields some birds that are not around/rare in this part of the state. A trip to the dentist got me my life Greater White-fronted Goose and # 368 for my Junior Big Year last year.
Yesterday my trip to the dentist yielded a wonderful day of birding with a day list of 79 species. The highlight was a Black Tern, a rare visitor to Virginia. It had been reported by other birders and my dad and I stopped off to see it on the way back from the dentist. Other good birds for yesterday included Yellow-breasted Chat (I had heard it before but yesterday was the first time I saw it), Ospreys, and more.
