Nineteen birders, from three bird clubs came together Saturday at Bluestone
Lake near Hinton WV to bird the lake and surrounding area. Members of the
Bibbee Nature Club of Bluefied WV met members of the Buchanan County Bird Club
and members of the Russell County Bird Club to begin a wonderful day of birding
with friends. The weather was perfect and made for a comfortable fall day.
After birding at Bluestone Lake the group birded Bellepoint Park, Mountain
Valley Lake and the New River downstream to Sandstone Falls. Forty-eight
species were counted for the day with 15 of them being waterfowl including
Common Loons, Ruddy Ducks, both Hooded and Common Mergansers and Horned Grebe.
An adult Bald Eagle was perched at Mountain Valley Lake which is a hotspot for
waterfowl. During the course of the day Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, a Brown
Creeper and Golden-crowned Kinglets were also found. The complete list is below.
