We are supposed to leave today for a trip West - hopefully we are well and not dealing with terrible weather or Covid or flu or... The photo is of an Oystercatcher along the Outer Banks on the Atlantic Ocean. I share that because we will be at several places on this trip that have unique birding environments where certain birds can be found only in those areas and I intend to climb past the 399 species on my life list. Or at least that is a plan. More information on the trip tomorrow and new daily travel posts begin on Monday. Unless we are still here:)
