Subject: [bcbirdclub] Bird Walk at the Pinnacle NAP
On Saturday, May 10, the Russell County Bird Club and the Russell County
Tourism Committee sponsored a bird walk at the Pinnacle Natural Area
Preserve in Russell County Virginia.
Despite threatening weather at the beginning 11 people participated in the
walk. The skies cleared and it was a beautiful hike in a beautiful area of
Southwestern Virginia. The walk was led by members of the Russell County
Bird Club. In addition to the birds, we also observed wildflowers such as
Green and Gold, Fire Pink, Yellow Pimpernel, Smooth Meadow Parsnip, Fairy
Wand, Lyre-Leaf Sage and butterflies such as Giant Swallowtail, Zebra
Swallowtail and Black Swallowtail.
Birding highlights included singing Lousiana Waterthrush and dueling Wood
Thrushes. In all we had 43 species.
