field trip to botetourt

This morning five birders endured the cold temperatures to enjoy an otherwise sunny day at Greenfield-Botetourt. The focus of the field trip was geese and ducks and no one was disappointed with 10 species spotted. The first bird of the day was an Adult Coopers Hawk posing at the entrance of the old K-mart, followed by multiple Red-Tailed Hawks sitting in trees along I-81. With the bright skies, scope and calm birds great views and comparisons were had by all. Kieran Kilday
