Hi All,
Since 2006, when bird song expert Don Kroodsma was the guest speaker for the
Buchanan County Bird Club's hosting of the VSO (Virginia Society of
Ornithology) annual meeting in the Breaks Park, he has kept in touch
occasionally by email. Well, yesterday I received an email from him saying that
he wants to return to Buchanan County this spring to do some more recording of
bird songs. He asked if I could pick out some good spots for him with good
birds, where he could record in relative quiet without too much interference
from noise from machines, etc. When he was here in 2006 he recorded several
birds here on Compton Mountain and included a chapter about them in his latest
book, BirdSong by the Seasons.
I replied to his email and gave him a description of some good birding areas
and told him of some of the species he could expect to find there. He sent me a
quick reply saying that after reading my email he was, as he put it,
"salivating in the cold north country" (he lives in Massachusetts) and that he
can't wait to come to bird in Buchanan County once again. So, it is with
excitement that we look forward to having Mr. Kroodsma join us sometime this
spring to do some birding and hopefully to hear about some of the great
experiences he has had and about some of the great insights he has gained from
studying bird songs.
