Kelly's Birdwatching At Sandbridge

Canada Goose - saw many droppings but most of it was undigested grass, thus Canada geese do not digest efficiently and like on the video, poop what they don't digest immediately.
Herring gull and Cormorants - they were in a flock together even though each species kept to it's own, when the herrings were scared and flew off, the cormorants decided it was best to be safe than sorry thus they flew off right after them.
i also saw the usual birds of Virginia...
robin, great black-backed gull, ring-billed gull, some killdeer on the waves, (also saw a you tube of the broken wing act, it was pretty cool) American crow, (an their annoying call) some mallards, gadwalls, and finally i saw the first of the songbirds, including a chickadee. suprisingly most of the birds could be spotted just driving around and never having to step out of my car. sorry no pictures. camera drives are full and i need to download.
