Twenty-five birders turned out with the Bristol Bird Club
this weekend (Fri-Sat-Sun) at the Rikemo Lodge south
of St. Paul in Russell County, VA for a fabulous three
days of birding.
Among the group was a birder from Cleveland, Ohio, who
flew down for the weekend to participate, and two members
of the Buchanan County Bird Club who also helped out.
The event featured 19 birders canoeing almost seven miles in
four hours to list birds along the winding and beautiful
section of the Clinch River from Cleveland to Carterton.
The river birding was made possible by The Nature
Conservancy of Virginia who provided eight canoes and
a river guide. One birder brought his own canoe for a total
of nine.
At the request of The Nature Conservancy staff, we were
asked to compile a list of birds for the areas we frequented.
It was decided that one list would include "birds found from
while canoeing along the river" with a second list being those
"found at The Nature Conservancy's 100-acre Rikemo Lodge
preserver" and the third including birds seen "elsewhere in
the area" during the weekend.
