My travels with family to the coast of Virginia have already yielded a bevy of birds I usually only see once a year. Summer often means vacation. Vacations mean travel. Travel means new ecosystems. New ecosystems mean new birds. See why I love summer?

From Florida to Maine and back again I toured urban forests, marshes, estuaries, and more, stopping along the way to visit family and friends. One particular resting place brought me to familiar birding territory: Pleasure House Point, Virginia Beach. During my three days in Virginia Beach, I knew I had to walk that path again.
