Just thought I'd list every single critter my group saw or heard while paddling in the Eastern Shore of Virginia National Wildlife Refuge the other day...bald eagle, osprey, black vulture, willet, lesser yellowlegs, laughing gull, herring gull, clapper rail (heard but not seen!), great blue heron, little green heron, snowy egret, great egret, double-crested cormorant, common loon, American crow, American oystercatcher and tree swallows...that's all as far as birds go. Of course, we also saw plenty of periwinkle snails, mud snails, oysters, clams, ribbed mussels, fiddler crabs, ghost crabs and minnows. I love this time of year on the water! -Margaret 4/21/13

How old is too old to kayak? Never!

SouthEast Guide Bill just took out our most senior customers ever! Bernei Burgunder, 89, and his wife, Amelie, a sprite 82. They came to Onancock, VA from Bethesda, Md. for the Kick-off of the Birding & Wildlife Festival and signed up for one of Bill's bird-watching tours on Onancock Creek.
