TRIP LIST

So in summary, we obviously had a great time down in Virginia and North Carolina. I was able to find 9 new ABA birds (*) and Ashley was able to add at least twice that. Secondly, I was able to add 12 new ABA photo birds (P) which is an up-and-coming hobby of mine. Although we didn't actually keep a trip list through most of the trip (we were focused on targeting certain species), I'll put up a quick trip list here:
