On Saturday, Nov 5, six members of the Buchanan County Bird Club joined seven
members of the Bibbee Nature Club of Bluefield WV to spend the day birding the
Bluestone Dam and New River, Sandstone Falls area. The morning was cool, but
the day became a warm, comfortable and enjoyable one to be out birding with
friends. An early adult Bald Eagle flying low overhead was a sign that the day
was going to be a good one, and it was. Forty-six species were counted for the
day. The group found several species of waterfowl including 4 Tundra Swans on
Mountain Valley Lake. The day's list follows these two photos. (If anyone knows
of any species left off the list contact me)
