🌅 Skip the snooze button and trade your beach chair for an early morning walk in the woods! Cape Charles isn’t just charming porches and soft serve — it’s also a pit stop for some seriously stylish travelers, like this Orchard Oriole just in from Central America. 🐦💼

Grab your coffee, lace up your shoes, and come see what the tourists (with wings) are up to. 👙⛱️
