Pigeon River FWA
March 17, 2018


We had 13 participants for our Saturday, March 17, field trip to Pigeon River FWA. The weather started out with heavy cloud cover, but no rain or sleet at Pigeon River. And the sun came out for us in afternoon. We are especially appreciative of Sam Plew for leading the field trip and taking us to many special spots to find great birds. The best for the day were undoubtedly the Virginia rail, who scampered across the boat launch while we all hoped just for a call from the tall reeds, the three long-eared owls, and the call of a saw-whet owl. 
We had a total of 51 species. Thanks to John Winebrenner for his help keeping track of the numbers of birds.
