VA Birders,
Saturday, 2/12/05, the Buchanan County Bird Club birded Burkes Garden along
with the New River Valley Bird Club and the Bristol Bird Club. In spite of the
cutting wind and low temperatures during the morning, the sun shone, which
helped with the viewing of the winter resident Golden Eagles and Rough-legged
Hawks, which were two of the species we were hoping to see there. Red-tailed
Hawks were on the move with 6 being observed in the air at one time.
Red-headed Woodpeckers and Ravens were also active with several Red-heads
giving good views and photo opportunities. Fox Squirrels and White-tailed Deer
were seen often. The deer were clearing high fences with ease, except for one,
that seemed too afraid to try. It was a good day for birding and for camraderie
with birders of other clubs. I took several photos and they can be seen at

Enjoy the birds,
