Remember that the Russell County Bird Club has a field trip scheduled for
tomorrow, May 24, to the Hidden Valley Lake WMA. Our target birds include
nesting warblers such as Black-throated Blue and Green, and Canada. Also
expect Rose-breasted Grosbeak and vireo species. Many other species are
possible.
For Lebanon area residents, meet at Hardees at 7:30 for
coffee/breakfast/visiting. Trip leaves from Lebanon Park & Ride at 8:15.
Those from the Abingdon/Bristol area can meet the Lebanon group near the
monument at the foot of the mountain at 8:30.
This trip takes place on Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries
property and is subject to an access fee. The fee for daily use is $4/day.
The fee is waived if you have a valid Virginia fishing, hunting, or trapping
license, or a current boating registration. An annual permit is also
available for $23. Complete information about the access permit program can
be found at the DGIF web site <http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/access-permit/>
. You can also purchase permits on line from the web site. Please note
that if you are considering an annual permit, it would be more beneficial to
buy an annual fishing license. The cost is the same ($23), but the DGIF
gets federal matching funds ($8) for each license sold. This is true of
hunting licenses as well except that the matching funds are greater
($12/license). Access permits may also be purchased by phone
(1-866-721-6911) or at any license agent (e. g., Walmart in Lebanon). For
Virginia residents 65 and older, you can purchase a lifetime license for
only $15. This has to be done through the Richmond office. Application
forms are available on the DGIF web site or from license agents.
Bring snacks/drinks/lunch. There are limited facilities on this trip.
