The Russell County Bird Club, a local
chapter of the Virginia
Society of Ornithology (VSO), was founded in
1997 in Lebanon, VA. It meets on the 4th Tuesday of the month in the Lebanon
Community Center. The Club supports the
VSO Principles of Birding
Ethics.
Club officers are: President Laverne Hunter; Vice-President Jane
Thornhill;
Secretary/Treasurer Diana Worley.
Club activities include doing an annual Christmas Bird
Count, field trips, an annual picnic outing at Laurel Bed Lake, and an annual
banquet for the September meeting to celebrate the founding of the club.
The club also leads a Bird Walk as part of the annual Redbud Festival.
You do not have to be a member to come to a meeting or come to an outing.
Everyone is welcome.
RCBC member, Tom Hunter, was the coordinator for the Mendota Fire Tower Hawk
Watch for 2009. The results were impressive. The final report for
2009 is here while
a summary of the past nine years is
here.
Way to go, Tom!
