Took Tuesday, the day after turning my grades in, to hike and bird the South
River Falls Tail in Shenandoah National Park. Sorry for the tardy post. It
was a gorgeous day, and the woods were alive with birds. Redstarts were
everywhere. The Chestnut-sided Warbler that nest sat the start of the trail
were there as always, and I picked up a nice Kentucky Warbler in the same area.
