Annual Raptor Count

The Roanoke Valley Bird Club Annual Raptor Count is being held on Saturday February 9, 2019.   It is a great excuse to get out of the house and do some winter birding with your birding buddies!! No skill is required, just a little time and effort. Plan on a leisurely drive around your area, counting all the hawks you see.  Points are awarded for each hawk, although this is not a serious competition. The winner gets bragging right!! We compile the results from everyone's efforts and keep an eye on trends in hawk populations. In the unlikely event of inclement weather, an alternate date of Sunday February 10 has been set.  Contact Anne Tucker (540) 721-1573 if you have any questions. The tally sheet can be emailed to bill...@gmail.com or mailed to 3256 Lakewood Forest Rd. Moneta VA 24121.  You’ll find the tally sheet at the end of this email.
