["Roger Mayhorn" <mayhorn@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Area Birders,
Yesterday a friend and I birded the strip site here on Compton Mt in Buchanan 
Co. The area used to be open to hikers, birders, and 4 wheelers, but a section 
of the land now has a new owner and he has closed the road. However, I did get 
permission for our bird club members to bird the area. We are finding more and 
more of these areas gated and posted.
 We found CARDINALS, CAROLINA CHICKADEES, TITMICE, CAROLINA WRENS and RUFFED 
GROUSE. One of the more interesting species we saw was GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETS, 
but the top species located was a RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH.
Enjoy the birds,
Roger Mayhorn
