SANDBRIDGE, Va. - When you turn onto Sandpiper Road, the main drag in the resort community of Sandbridge, the signs that pepper the yards are hard to miss. A group of residents banded together and put out a lot of, Drive Like your Kids Live Here signs to help remind people to slow down, said resident Mathew Lemn.
Sandpiper Road is 3.5 miles long and ends near Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The road is classified by the City of Virginia Beach as a collector road because we have Little Island Park and the Refuge, and there is a lot of vehicles on the road, so the speed limit is 35, said Lemn, who is on the Sandbridge Civic League.

The mysterious flamingo that flew into Imperial Beach last week is here to stay. At least for now.
Nobody has claimed ownership of the bird that appeared in the South Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Park Ranger Brian Collins hopes it stays that way.
“The pink flamingo is just a special visitor,” he said. “I’d prefer not to find out where it came from because we aren’t going to chase it down and capture it. It’s perfectly healthy as far as we can tell.”
On Wednesday, Collins led a group of about 20 people visiting San Diego to a tour of the refuge. The flamingo was their main attraction.

Julie Levans, a senior curator of fishes, herpetology and dive operations at the Virginia Aquarium, said the deceased shark has probably been there for more than 24 hours as of Friday afternoon and that unless itâs a fresh carcass, it might be too difficult to find out why it died.
