Hi Fellow Birders, As many of you may remember our bird club's annual birding trip to look for eagles and waterfowl at the Bluestone Dam near Hinton WV is scheduled for this Saturday, Nov. 6th. As of this evening the weather is not looking good for the outing. The forecast for Hinton for Friday night is low in the mid twenties with a 70 % chance of snow. Saturday high in upper 30's 50% chance of snow. Bristol is also saying that there is a possibility that Buchanan County will get an inch or two of snow on Friday night. From Princeton northward to Hinton the elevation rises, so that area will probably get snow even if we don't. If the weather is that cold (and probably windy on the lake) it will not be an enjoyable outing. I am going to watch the weather and make a final decision about the trip on Thursday. If we do postpone the outing, it will be rescheduled for Saturday, Nov. 20th. Roger Mayhorn Compton Mt
