AMERICAN WOODCOCK - YES!

Finally connected! Due to a combination of wrong place at wrong time over the years I'd failed to connect with this species. Last night put things right with the help of Marilyn Westphal and Mark Simpson. They went to great lengths to help me see this bird for which I am very grateful. Thank you both. The location was high up on the Blue Ridge Parkway...

• 469 MILES connecting the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina to the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia

Amazing views and a fabulous sunset.

Onto Nashville today...
