Bird club in Rockbridge County, Virginia, US
April 18, 2026 « Prev • Next »
Join the stellar team of John Pancake and Bob Epperson for a driving trip along the ridge of North Mountain!
Birders will meet in the Tractor Supply parking lot at 7 am to carpool. From there we’ll drive west on I-64 to the Goshen exit and head up to the top of North Mountain. Our caravan will make its way slowly along the ridge, stopping frequently to investigate. Ruffed Grouse have been heard at this location, and in mid-April we are likely to find Blue-headed Vireos, Black-and-white Warblers, Ovenbirds and Eastern Towhees.
We plan to return to Lexington by mid-day, depending on how birdy we find the route. Dress for the high elevation (3,400 ft), bring binoculars, water and a snack. In the event of heavy rain, the trip will be canceled. For weather updates, check our Facebook page.
