Dauphin Island, AL - Finale

Magnolia blossom


This is our last day on Dauphin Island and migration is done here, all birds have flown north and we will pull up stakes and follow.  Our bird total here was 175 species with 31 species of warblers, a very successful stay.

Our plans are to drive northeast to the Blue Ridge Parkway through North Carolina and Virginia, to visit dear friends near Lynchburg.  Then around the big cities and into New England, the Maritime Provinces and a ferry trip back to Newfoundland.  Praying for God's safety and His ever abiding grace along the way as we enjoy His creation.

Love & Prayers,
Ty & Ida Baumann
