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
