Here's a report from our morning birdwalk at Greenfield Pond near 
Daleville in Botetourt County.

We had some excellent luck: Glossy Ibis (second Botetourt record ever) and Snowy Egret (there are only about 10 Roanoke-Botetourt records) were the best, 
but we also got a Bald Eagle, two Snipe, a Spotted Sandpiper, a Green 
Heron, a Warbling Vireo, Yellow Warbler, Grasshopper Sparrow and Purple 
Martin.

There were eight of us, plus three birders from the Roanoke Bird Club. 
Kent Davis, from Roanoke, compiled this report.
