Today, October 4th, Boxerwood Nature Center held its first Bioblitz, inventorying its flora and fauna throughout the day.  The Rockbridge Bird Club provided the bird identification activities over several walks over three hours. The event was an open house attended by many local residents and families. The Bird List is below highlighted by a Bald Eagle fly-over toward the end of the event. Kieran Kilday

I have to say I am amazed at the number of bird sightings at Boxerwood! I keep a list of birds seen at our farm and am currently up to 83. I know there are many more species, but it is difficult for me (with no so good eyesight) to get close enough to identify them. The only one I've seen not on your list is the Louisiana Waterthrush, which I was only able to identify because I happened to get a decent picture.
