Pete Thayer's Favorite Hot Spots:
Chincoteague National Wildlife Reserve
37.59 N   75.17 W
More famous for its ponies than its birds -- but that may soon change! This barrier island is a last staging area each fall for Shorebirds on their way to South America. Thousands of waterfowl spend the winter here.

Chesapeake Bay Bridge & Tunnel
37.00 N   76.02 W
Write or call for a letter that will permit you to stop on island 2,3 and 4 as you cross the bridge/tunnel. Purple Sandpiper, Great Cormorant, Long-tailed Duck and all three Scoters may fly by.

Great Falls Park
39.00 N   77.26 W
Just north of Washington, D.C., this park is in the Potomac River floodplain. Swamps and deciduous forests are the primary habitat.  Lots of warblers are the main attraction for birders. Non-birders come to see the rocks and waterfalls.

Kiptopeke State Park
37.15 N   75.98 W
Located at the tip of Cape Charles, this is the place to be in the fall. About 70,000 raptors fly overhead between September and November. The park is also great for fall songbirds.

Shenandoah National Park
38.25 N   78.70 W
Skyline Drive is a beautiful experience. Birders like to explore the South River Falls Trail around mile 63. Spring and summer are the best times to visit.
