Twelve Rockbridge Bird Club members travelled to Highland County yesterday.  We were joined by leaders Pattie Reum and John Spahr in Monterey who led us to friendly and selected homes with bird feeders, and to high mountain passes.  Thank you to both of them for spending the day with us!  We had a great outing--- temps averaging mid 30’s, bright sunny day, a snowy landscape of white glaze and plentiful birds.Wendy’s list follows, and includes sightings en route to Highland.
