Dave & VA Birders,
In recent reports about birds on Laurel Fork Road west of Blue Grass, I
have not seen any reference to the condition of this road. Altho I have not
driven this section of the road in many years, my memory of it is that it
was a very rough road, and one on which you might be advised to take a
4-wheel drive vehicle. I would be interested to get comments from whose who
have traveled it recently about what condition it is in now.
I will be leading a group from our Northern Virginia Bird Club to
Highland Co. next weekend, and we will look for Alder Flycatcher where we
found it last year, which is at a beaver pond on Rt. 250 a few miles west of
Rt. 640 (Hightown). The beaver pond is on the left (south) side of the
road, and a stream is on the right (north) side.
Good birding,
Val Kitchens
Arlington, VA
