January 30, 2011 Rural Retreat Lake US · Virginia Lon. -81.294279, Lat. 36.865751, Alt. 2,513 ft Member: Allen Boynton Hotspot: Rural Retreat Lake Notes: The lake is still frozen, and there was not a Mallard or Canada Goose to be found. I found no unusual birds, but enjoyed the warm sunshine and beating the bushes. As you can see from the photo, the snow drifts are still deep in places. However major progress was made in thawing the lake today. 23 Species Reported: Turkey Vulture Red-tailed Hawk American Kestrel Mourning Dove Eastern Screech-Owl Yellow-bellied Sapsucker Downy Woodpecker Golden-crowned Kinglet Carolina Wren Northern Mockingbird Eastern Bluebird Carolina Chickadee Tufted Titmouse White-breasted Nuthatch Blue Jay American Crow European Starling Eastern Towhee Field Sparrow Song Sparrow White-throated Sparrow Dark-eyed Junco Northern Cardinal This sightings record was recorded at: www.aviatlas.com |
