What is the best bird(s) you encountered/observed in a single event since January 1, 1975 in Rockingham County (or Harrisonburg)? Limited to 1 species, but more than 1 bird of the same species is fine. List your species here (common name per your favorite current bird book). *
When did you experience this event (to the closest hour and date if you recall, but approximate date is fine too)? *
Where did this event occur in Harrisonburg/Rockingham County (again, please be as precise as possible to the best of your recollection)? *
Why? Why was this memorable? Please note in a few sentences why this species is your "Best Bird". What was it about the encounter that spoke to you. See Rockingham Bird Club January 2025 newsletter, or this webpage (https://rockinghambirdclub.com/best-bird-memory-project/), for examples if needed. If you can also include the when and where in this narrative that would be great. *
