Hitting the road

I'm leaving in approximately one hour, heading Northeast through North Carolina and over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge into Southeastern Virginia. My destination, of course, is the Eastern Shore of Virginia Birding and Wildlife Festival, as I mentioned in a post last month. I plan to blog from the festival, hoping to include stories and photos of the flocks of migrating songbirds, shorebirds, and raptors that are expected at the festival. Unfortunately there will be no photos, videos, or stories about Avery or Lily to look forward to from the weekend, as I'm leaving them behind with Mandi and the camera is of course coming with me. I've been looking forward to this trip for quite a while, hopefully it lives up to my expectations.
