Spring is in the Valley: yesterday at the Beall Tract of CVNWR I found 2 Tree Swallows, watched a Brown Creeper singing as it crept, and enjoyed Bald Eagle, Northern Flicker, and Belted Kingfisher. At the pond opposite Freeland Road on 32 there were 10 each of Wood and Ring-necked ducks and 8 Mallards.
Today I saw Bald Eagles in Hampshire, Hardy, and Mineral Counties, Sharp-shinned Hawks in Hampshire and Mineral, and 10 Wild Turkeys along Rt 48 in Tucker.
