Lost Colony

We are visiting the Roanoke "lost colony" today. The winds are howling and I'm glad our pelagic is not today. We hope it is calmer for tomorrow and that lots of good stuff has been blown in for our trip!
The trees are literally alive with Yellow-rumpled Warblers, literally(said like Rob Lowe does in "Parks and Recreation") We just got a new bird; Pine Warbler.
Liam is now "accidentally" getting his shoes all wet in the ocean while I get my face sandblasted...

What's the deal?

I took my 10 year old son Liam to see "The Big Year". When the movie was over he said he wanted to do a big year and I said ok. The idea has grown out of control and we are about to take a journey that I hope will cement a father and son bond to last a lifetime. Counting birds is just the game; spending time together is the reward! Don't let this explanation fool you though...we are serious and are trying to break the record.

Update - A personal setback this summer derailed any chance of a really big number this year but we are back at and plan to finish as strong as possible!
