Four members (Don Carrier, Mike Sanders, and Jane & Jerry Thornhill) of the
Russell County Bird Club made the trek to the Outer Banks (OBX) of North
Carolina to participate in the Virginia Society of Ornithology (VSO) annual
field trip to this area.  They were rewarded with a three day list of 112
species, many of which are unusual and some of which were life birds.  We
saw all three scoter species, lots of other duck species including close
looks at Harlequin Ducks, Short-eared Owls, and several warbler species
including Pine, Orange-crowned, and Common Yellowthroat.  We had a great
time and would recommend the trip to anyone.

 

A complete report with pictures and the complete trip list can be found on
the club web site at www.rcbirds.org under the trip reports link.
