The following is a tally of the birds seen at the VSO Annual Meeting and Mt.
Lake Festival. If you have any additional species to add please contact me
so that I can add them to the list. Thanks to our many wonderful volunteer
leaders who made this possible. Sorry that it has taken me so long to
compile it. Note: the Henslows sparrow was found at the Radford Arsenal on
their restricted property by John Spahr (leader) and Len DiIoia.
