Results of Monthly Bird Walk at Boxerwood

On September 6th the Rockbridge Bird Club held its first monthly bird walk at
the Boxerwood Nature Center and Woodland Gardens (www.boxerwood.org). The
joint event will take place in the future on the first Saturday of each
month. Today, a group of 10 birders saw a total of 31 species with the
highlight being a Blue Winged Warbler and a calling nearby Eastern Screech
Owl. Several feeding flocks provided additional warblers as migration
begins. The Gardens are open to the public daily. The detailed bird list is
