Travel Haiku - Virgina's Eastern Shore Birding & Wildlife Festival Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Eastern Shore Birding & Wildlife Festival
our eyes zero in on fun like falcons
our imagination spans large as wings

Virginia celebrates its 17th annual Eastern Shore Birding & Wildlife Festival September 17–20, during the fall migration, when millions of neotropical songbirds, eagles, hawks, and falcons converge on the Eastern Shore peninsula. Whether you are a serious birder or just enjoy watching the beautiful winged creatures, everyone is welcome to the festivities in and around the quaint town of Onancock. Take a hike on an untamed barrier island or a guided boat tour, and then check out one of the bird-related exhibits at the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art. It's time to appreciate our feathered friends!
