The New River Valley Bird Club's field trip to Rural Retreat Lake in Wythe
County began with a surprise. Don Mackler spotted a glossy ibis feeding
along the shore line next to the paved trail. Bill Opengari quickly
confirmed the identification. We had several great looks at the bird in the
sunlight. The second part of the field trip, a search for sparrows in the
nearby fields, turned into a raptor count with a hoped for Bald Eagle and an
unexpected Merlin directly overhead. We ended at Jim Minnick's property with
a very productive walk. Jim is the club's speaker for our Jan. meeting where
he will have a book signing for his recent publication. All are invited to
attend (1st Wed. at the Blacksburg Library 7:30 PM).
