A team of seven birders, spent a wonderful day with beautiful weather, finding
55 species in Area D of the Galde Spring Christmas Bird Count today, Saturday,
3 Jan.
Rick Knight, Rack Cross, Andy Jones, Don Holt, Tom Horsch, Chris O'Bryan and
Wallace Coffey birded our area mostly south of I-81 and south of the Middle
Fork Hoslton River in Washington County, VA.
We enjoyed a nice evening of fellowship on Friday, gathering at the Creeper
Trail Cottages in Damascus where we had a pizza dinner. Andy Jones, working
on his Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota, presented a neat slide show and
talk of his recent ornithological research in Russia.
Following the party and talk, Tom Horsch hosted us for a "Midnight Madness
Sale" at two stores of his Sun Dog Outfitters. We bought two bicycles, topo
maps computer program, outdoor clothing, shoes, handwarmers and other
deeply-discounted merchandise.
The group spent the night before the count in two streamside cottages.
