The Russell County Bird Club conducted their January Field Trip to Corn Valley,
Elk Garden and Mountain Road on January 17th. Despite the frigid temperatures
we were able to find 41 species. The highlight of the trip was an Eastern
Screech Owl spotted by Peggy Herbert. I have attached a photograph. As you can
see, we all had great looks. A delicious lunch was served at Jerry and Jane
Thornhill's residence. There was was also a surprise birthday party held for
Dave Worley with a birthday cake by Laverne Hunter and several age appropriate
giftswer presented to Dave.
The participants were: Dave Worley, Diana Worley, Fred Martin, Janice Martin,
Ed Talbott II, Mary Talbott, Roger Mayhorn, Linda Mayhorn, Don Carrier, Bob
Montgomery, Peggy Herbert, Jerry Thornhill, Jane Thornhill, Laverne Hunter, Tom
Hunter.
