The Glade Spring Christmas Bird Count is set for Saturday, December 17, 2011. Team Leaders are Ron Harrington, Area A; Randy Smith and Mike Hagy, Area B; Ed Morgan, Area C; Tom Hunter, Area D; Jo Ann Detta and Marty Huber, Area E; and Diane Harris, Area F. Last year (December 18), seven parties reported a total of 75 species and 7161 individual birds. This was the fourth highest ever recorded for VAGS. If you would like to participate, Please contact me at roneharrin@xxxxxxxxxx or call 276-669-4948 no later than December 10. Of special interest: We are looking for "biking birders" who would like to cover the Salt Trail from Glade Spring to Saltville, about 9 miles. This would include new territory not previously reported in our count. Thanks. Ron Harrington Compiler, VAGS
