Allen & Mindy Waldron

Allen & Mindy Waldron Allen and Mindy Waldron are a pair of local West Virginia birders living in nearby Raleigh County. Mindy has been a birder for many years. Allen came to birding in the 90’s. Both are members of the Bibbee Nature Club and the Brooks Bird Club in West Virginia. They spend the summer months operating two MAPS ( Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship) bird banding stations. They stay busy throughout the year with 3 Breeding Bird Surveys, Breeding Bird Point Counts, Christmas Bird Counts and the Big Sit. Raleigh and Summers Counties in southern West Virginia are their favorite locales for birding, botanizing, and enjoying all aspects of nature.

Fallout (fall·out): a natural occurrence where migratory birds are forced down by adverse conditions in a way that makes them congregate in large numbers; generally associated with meteorological and geographical conditions or other physical stressors. It is normal to witness birders experiencing euphoria in these situations.

"... images... of perfect roadside wildflowers, of rivers rushing across bared toes, of ghost towns nestled in the mountains, weathered barns along the way, of impossible to photograph birds, memories of twisty country roads, lush hillsides and scenic saw mills, the laughter of an impossible-to-imagine mix of friends..." - Laura
