Big Stone Gap, VA 3/15/2012 320pm - a mixed kettle of vultures drifted out of the east from the head of Powell Valley and clustered over Union High School. Number nearly 100. 2 killdeer on the ground. Nesting may be disrupted by construction of new Union HS 6 bluebirds foraging on and around the Union HS campus cedar waxwings feeding in decorative hollies at UHS Cardinals, starlings, flickers, red bellied woodpecker, a multitude of robins at my home near UHS The nesting area of GBH near the South Fork Powell River and Butcher Fork confluence has 6 active nests now. I am having a hard time seeing any birds as the tree buds swell. Bill Cawood, Big Stone Gap
