[david kirschke <dkirschke@xxxxxxxxx>]

As I was out of town and unable to go to Roan Mt with Reece Jamerson, Brookie 
and Jean Potter, and Bryan Stevens last Friday evening, I decided to go up last 
evening -minus the good company and with somewhat less success?(although I did 
enjoy a nice sunset from Round Bald).
   
  Roan Mt, TN (Carter County) 5/14/07 PM
  Canada warbler (pair below Carver?s Gap)
  Veery (2+ calling in Rhododendron Garden)
  Red-breasted nuthatch (3 @ and below Carver?s Gap)
  American redstart (pair @ Golden-winged Curve)
  Black-billed cuckoo (calling @ Golden-winged Curve)
  Least flycatcher (@ picnic area below Hummingbird Hill)
  Swainson?s thrush (calling)
  N saw-whet owl (2 calling)
  (I got excited at one point because I thought I heard a whip-poor-will below 
Carver?s Gap, but it quit calling every time I turned of my owl recording!)
   
  Also, I saw my first Common Nighthawk flying over the New River at Fries, VA 
as my wife, daughter, and I were finishing a bike ride on the New River Trail 
(a nice birding destination w/i a couple hours of here).
