Area Birders, Michelle, Chazzy and I had a great day of birding at Laurel Bed Lake during this years Blackford, VA CBC. Interesting finds included a Long-tailed Duck, Red-Breasted Mergansers, Horned Grebes, Ruddy Ducks, and Common Goldeneye. For those interested, I've posted our hike and nature pictures at: http://www.pbase.com/aquilaet/laurel2 I've got some video of the birds but the high winds added quite a bit of shake to the footage so it's useful only for ID purposes only. Have a Happy New Year, Ed and Michelle Talbott Buchanan County, VA ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
