Yesterday, I hiked the Appalachian Trail to Angels Rest above Pearisburg, Giles
County. It wasn't real birdy but I did hear a ruffed grouse drumming near the
top. Other birds observed were cardinal, blue jay, robin, crow, red-tailed
hawk, turkey vulture, brown creeper, golden-crowned kinglet, Carolina
chickadee, dark-eyed junco, red-bellied, hairy and pileated woodpeckers.
