[Ed Talbott <aquilaet@xxxxxxxxx>]

Bristol Birders,
   
  Michelle and I decided to head over to the Breaks Interstate Park this 
morning to look for spring migrants. We were not disappointed and found our 
first Yellow-throated Warbler of 2007 behind Shelter #3. Pine Warblers (5) and 
Blue-headed Vireos (8) were found in several spots in the park. Soaring out 
over the gorge were both Turkey and Black Vultures, American Crows, and Common 
Ravens. At Laurel Lake we were pleasantly surprised by two male Red-breasted 
Mergansers in a small group of six Ring-necked Ducks. At the Towers Overlook, I 
thought I heard a distant Black-and-white Warbler down in the gorge but it was 
too far to call. Jim Phillips reported two B&W Warblers at Pipestem State Park 
in West Virginia yesterday. Everything is showing up a little early this year.
