4PAD Straight Outa The East

I figured out how to use some internets out here on Lake James (North Carolina), so all of you lucky TPAD fans are in for a nice treat straight from the East Coast.  The airplane fiasco finally sorted itself out yesterday and we arrived safely in NC so that I could start getting lifers.  So far, I think I've gotten only six (Carolina Wren and Chickadee, Brown-headed Nuthatch, Eastern Bluebird, Red-bellied Woodpecker, and Common Grackle), but with more on the way.  Life is uber chill down here in The South.  Just dippin' and sippin' on the back porch.  Fully Legit.

Prettiest Catbird Ever.

My first ever Carolina Wren.

My first ever Red-bellied Woodpecker.

My first ever Eastern Tiger Swallowtail.
