This winter I visited England for a month. The most memorable avian species in my opinion – and most symbolic to the country and its culture – was the Common Raven (Corvus corax).
On Saturday, October 4, 22 birders awoke before sunrise, loaded into vans, and began our journey from Northern Virginia to Cape May, NJ, our eyes set on this faraway destination perfectly aligned with the Atlantic Flyway, one of the four “avian superhighways” in North America.
