It took me with much surprise. A source near Rural Retreat Town Hall told me to have a deposition taken on this record with the bird authority of Wythe County. That took me to the doorstep of former BBC members Dick and Judy (Musick) Moose. I found my way into their absolutely beautiful neighborhood of lovely homes and quickly searched them out. She gladly too my sworn record and reminded me that she had both the Sora and Virginia Rail at that site early in the breeding season. Oh well..... Let's go birding . . . . Wallace Coffey Bristol, TN
