Allen Larner led a very successful field trip to Bath County today, joined by Wendy Hill, Scott Priebe, and Andrew Clem. The temperatures climbed into the 70s, and yet there were still a few patches of snow/ice from that blizzard in late January! A Red-tailed Hawk was at the Ingalls Overlook, just east of Warm Springs. At the Gaithright Dam reservoir we saw some Horned Grebes, Eastern Phoebes, Ring-necked Ducks, and Green-winged Teals. At Lake Moomaw we saw many Common Mergansers, Eared Grebes, Buffleheads, and a young Bald Eagle. While snacking at the picnic area we spotted a Pine Warbler and two Killdeer. It was quite a day. Thanks to Allen for leading this trip!
