Pat Parr bided the Smith Ridge area just off Va Rt. 643 about six miles north of Dante in Dickenson Co., VA, Saturday, 24 May 2014. She reported: Killdeer 1 Eastern Bluebird 2 Brown-headed Cowbird 6 American Goldfinch 1 While her list does not include truly exciting birds, her report is evidence of the many birders out there just getting started and possibly providing us good birding and good records in the future.
