Hello VA-Birders,
   
 In addition to spending lots of time in the field the past 2 1/2 days chasing 
Ernesto birds, I have been compiling as many of the area sightings as possible, 
including DE, MD, VA, DC and the Carolinas. Below is a list of more notable 
state or regional birds many folks reported over that time. There were also a 
few reports of Sooty Terns in PA and an American Oystercatcher in PA. Sorry if 
I missed anything. Feel free to let me know if I did miss anything so I can add 
it to the list. Enjoy!
