Look for bald eagles at the Rappahannock River Valley National Wildlife Refuge located at 336 Wilna Road, Warsaw, VA. This is one of four refuges that comprise the Eastern Virginia Rivers National Wildlife Refuge Complex. It protects 20,000 acres of wetlands and associated uplands along the river and its major tributaries. Archeological and historic sites are abundant. At least four federally-listed threatened or endangered species may be found, including the American bald eagle, peregrine falcon, shortnose sturgeon and sensitive joint vetch. Virginia's largest wintering roost for bald eagles is located within the refuge. Shorebirds, neotropical migrant songbirds, raptors, and marchbirds rely on the Rappahannock River's corridors during the spring and fall migration periods. The Refuge hosts three sites on the Virginia Birding and Wildlife Trail. Picture of the eagle was taken by Tina Phillips http://www.freedigitalphotos.net/images/view_photog.php?photogid=503nnock.
