Today while birding at South Holston Lake, I counted 201 nests of the Cliff
Swallows under Avens Bridge in Washington County, VA. This makes the colony
one of the largest in the state and the largest in Southwest Virginia.
Also along the lake in Washington County I had a Forester's Tern in nice
breeding colors and a Red-breasted Merganser. The tern allowed me to float
within 20 feet of it with a boat while it rested on driftwood. Great fun.
Let's go birding......
