March 8, following a VARCOM meeting hosted by Dick at VMI, one of the committee members birded his way out of town and posted his results last night. On the Maury River just south of the Route 60 bridge outside of Buena Vista, he spotted a Red Necked Grebe.  They have been showing up throughout the state, no doubt due to all of the frozen lakes up north.  Thus far, this is the first one spotted in Rockbridge County.
I went by this morning and it was still there in the same place, closer to the bridge than the dam.  It is hanging out with a Pied-Billed Grebe and is close to having full breeding plumage. Also on the river here were 5 American Wigeons, several Mallards, a Great Blue Heron, and Phoebe
