NVBC GENERAL MEETING-THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 8 PM
Exploring the Birds of Chile
Speaker:Dixie Sommers
ixie Sommers joined a WINGS Birding Tours trip to Chile in November 2023. The tour ranged from the far south and sea level Tierra del Fuego
to the far north and high altitude Atacama Desert. The group counted 258 species ranging from penguins to flamingos to tapaculos and Furnarids (ovenbirds).
General Meeting Notes: Early bird refreshments start at 7:30 p.m. Any contributions of food or beverage will be most gratefully received. There will be a drawing for door prizes. Northern Virginia Bird Club pins will be available for members who would like to buy them ($5 each).
MEETING PLACE: St. Andrews Episcopal Church, 4000 Lorcom Lane, Arlington, 22207. Directions are on page 4

Chile’s diverse habitats and species result from its extreme geography. This long and skinny country ranges from the tropical 18th to the cold 56th parallel, nearly 2,700 miles. But it averages only 110 miles in width. This strange land shape encompasses the gateway to Antarctica, temperate rain forests, the world’s driest desert, and the Andes mountains reaching as high as 22,000 feet. The entire coast faces the Humboldt current, bringing cold water up from the Antarctic and with it a rich variety of seabirds and other marine wildlife. Darwin visited many spots in Chile and left some entertaining comments on birds.

Dixie will tell the stories to go with some of her best
photos and videos. The complete photo library is in the Chile file at www.ddpix.smugmug.com. Dixie last presented to NVBC in September of 2023 about her 2022 visit to New Zealand. She has birded all over the world including all 7 continents and in half of the US states. Her current volunteer activities include serving as Treasurer of the Virginia Society of Ornithology, editor of the VSO Newsletter, and Friends of Dyke Marsh board member. She leads bird walks for NVBC, NVBA, and Friends of Dyke Marsh. Dixie’s efforts have been and continue to be very important in our efforts to help get the 2nd Virginia Breeding Bird Atlas fully funded and published.
Winter Chincoteague Trip
he Winter Chincoteague Weekend club trip is scheduled for February 7 to February 9 (Friday to
Sunday), 2025. The trip will be limited to 16 people and sign-up procedures are detailed below. NVBC membership is required for this trip.
February is an excellent time to visit Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel Islands (CBBT). The Refuge is loaded with wintering waterfowl while the CBBT is famous for wintering sea ducks. We typically find 90 or more species on this trip. Highlights from previous years have been Northern Gannets, Red-necked Grebes, Lesser Black- backed Gulls, Snow Geese, Brants, Common Goldeneyes, Long-tailed Ducks, Common Eiders, Harlequin Ducks, Purple Sandpipers, Great Cormorants and even Razorbills. We will also try again to listen and watch for American Woodcocks displaying above the horse corral at dusk on Friday night.
Plans for the weekend include birding the Chincoteague area Friday afternoon starting at 3:15 p.m. (optional) and Saturday starting at 7:30 a.m. Activities on Friday and Saturday include birding along Beach Road, Swan Cove, Tom’s Cove and around the Wildlife Loop. Time and tides permitting, we will also visit the Queen Sound Flats and Mariner’s Point. On Sunday, we will bird Kiptopeke State Park before our trip to CBBT Island #4. We will be limited to a one and a half hour visit on island #4 due to the construction of a new tunnel. The CBBT trip requires security forms in advance and an extra fee for the security escort, expected to be five dollars per person. The trip concludes at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday
Because the Chincoteague weekends are such popular trips, we will continue with the new sign-up procedure to enable wider member participation. Registration will open on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, at 6 a.m. To sign up f o r t h i s t r i p , p l e a s e e m a i l E l t o n M o r e l a t eltonlmorel@verizon.net. All members who send an email between 6 and 7 a.m. will be eligible to be put on the list. However, club members who were not on the Winter 2024 or the Spring 2024 trip will get a higher priority, in the order received. They will be followed by those who have been on one of those trips, in time stamp order. The 16 slots are likely to fill up very fast and therefore, a waiting list will be started with those who respond in the first hour. Any club member who sends an email after 7 a.m. on November 13 will not be given the higher priority over those in the first hour but will be considered for any available slot or waitlisted in order of the time stamp. When signing up, please indicate whether you are interested in the group dinner on Saturday night at Bill’s Seafood Restaurant and Sunday morning’s CBBT Island trip. Please do not make your hotel reservations until your trip registration has been confirmed.
We have obtained a special rate of $92 including taxes per night on fifteen rooms for Friday and Saturday nights at the Best Western Chincoteague Island Hotel on Maddox Boulevard. A two-night stay is usually required. Hotel reservations must be made by January 24 to get this special group rate. Participants should make their own reservations by calling 800-553-6117 once they have received confirmation they are on the trip. Be sure to say that you are with the Northern Virginia Bird Club.

The Club 2024 Financial Report follows. The membership chair reports
167 Family memberships and 275 individual memberships as of July 2, 2024, giving the club a count of over 600 members.
In 2024, the Club once again gave a grant of $500 to the Community C l o u d F o r e s t C o n s e r v a t i o n organization using funds donated for this purpose. The Club also donated
$500 to the VA Breeding Bird Atlas publishing efforts as part of our multi- year pledge .
As anticipated, the annual expenses exceeded the annual revenues by $1,423. When the budget was adopted, the Board continued with its policy to spend down the Club’s reserve funds without a dues increase
This plan will continue in 2025 when a shortfall of $1,600 is projected. At the end of FY 2025, the reserve fund will be at a level where the Board plans to end deficit spending.
At the close of FY 2024, the Club had $12,297 in total assets including future years’ dues on deposit ($3,225) and grant donations ($105).

Birding in Colorado
In July, I traveled to Colorado to join a trip with Colorado Birding Adventures. We were based in Longmont which is not far from Denver. During the three- day tour we birded a variety of habitats and found plenty of fascinating birds, interesting mammals and beautiful scenery. I had never been to Colorado before, so joining a tour was an ideal way to take advantage of the various birding hotspots in the area. I ended up with five new birds for my life list. Another advantage of joining a birding tour is that all meals, lodging and transportation are taken care of. All I had to worry about was getting up on time and birding.
The first day we headed over to the Pawnee Grasslands. The strategy here was to drive around and stop where we saw birds along the roads that traversed this vast flat habitat. Sometimes this type of birding is referred to as a “prairie pelagic”. Our first stop was made before we got to the actual grasslands. Our target bird was Mountain Plover which we found among the plowed furrows in a farm field. We were able to see them well through spotting scopes, but they were far off and backlit, so I was not able to photograph my first life
bird of the tour. At the Pawnee Grasslands many of the birds were very cooperative as they sat on fences and posts to pose for photographs. I got excellent shots of three more lifers: Chestnut-collared Longspur, Thick-billed Longspur, and Lark Bunting. We also saw a closeup Prairie Falcon and a colony of Burrowing Owls. On the way back we stopped at a reservoir which had both Western and Clark’s Grebes. Stewart’s Pond was another productive location which had a variety of ducks, wading birds and shorebirds. While we were there, a small flock of Baird’s Sandpipers flew by low over our heads.
The next day we drove west and climbed up the mountains at Rocky Mountain National Park. Our plan was to drive up beyond the tree line to an elevation of 12,000 feet and look for the much sought after White-
tailed Ptarmigan. Being from Virginia, I was not used to these high-altitude conditions, so I took the precautions of taking a few Advil tablets to prevent headaches and drinking plenty of water to avoid dehydration. The good news was that when we got to the top, I was fine. The even better news was that we found the White-tailed Ptarmigan after walking up a short path through the tundra. The bird was kind enough to sit out in the open for several minutes and provide excellent photo opportunities. Other birds we spotted in the park included a profusion of Violet-green Swallows, a Virginia’s Warbler, a Dusky Flycatcher and a Red-naped Sapsucker. Another highlight for me was seeing
t h e m a m m a l s o f R o c k y Mountain National Park. We saw some large ones like Moose and Elk as well as small ones like Pikas, Golden-collared Ground Squirrels and Yellow-bellied Marmots. The Pikas, which are r e l a t e d t o r a b b i t s , w e r e especially cute. For me another notable sighting was of a Rocky Mountain Parnassian, a new butterfly for me.
On the third day we spent the morning birding local spots near Longmont. Old Saint Vrain Road was especially productive. We had great views of Lesser
Goldfinches, a Black-headed Grosbeak, and a Western Flycatcher. I also saw a Blue-eyed Darner, a new dragonfly for me. Unfortunately, none of the darners I saw ever landed for a photo. Later, we made a quick stop at Rabbit Mountain where we saw a Golden Eagle. We had lunch at Lagerman Reservoir where we observed some water birds including American Avocets, Redheads and American Wigeon. I really enjoyed Colorado where I was able to meet some new people, see some new birds and other wildlife and enjoy some majestic mountain landscapes.
