["Roger Mayhorn" <mayhorn@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bristol Area Birders,
Members of the Buchanan County VA Bird Club and Bibbee Nature Club of
Bluefield, WV came to the home of Roger & Lynda Mayhorn today to enjoy one
of the days of their annual Warbler Watch. Despite a foggy start 48 species
were logged in and around the Mayhorn property with 12 of them being warbler
species. The warblers were AMERICAN REDSTART 5, BLACK-AND-WHITE 2,
BLACKBURNIAN 7, BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER 2, BLACK-THROATED GREEN 13,
CHESTNUT-SIDED 2, HOODED WARBLER 3, MAGNOLIA WARBLER 1, OVENBIRD 1,
TENNESSEE WARBLER 38, WORM-EATING WARBLER 2, YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER 8.

All 4 species of Vireo were seen with RED-EYED having the high count of 8
with BLUE-HEADED AND YELLOW-THROATED both having a count of 7 and WHITE-EYED
having a count of 2.

Flycatchers made their appearance around the yard with ONE GREAT-CRESTED, 3
EASTERN WOOD PEWEES, 2 EASTERN PHOEBES and ONE unidentified EMPIDONAX.

4 BALTIMORE ORIOLES were noted, 9 SCARLET TANAGERS, 4 RED-BELLIED
WOODPECKERS, 14 EASTERN BLUEBIRDS, 2 GRAY CATBIRDS, 6 BLUE-GRAY
GNATCATCHERS, 1 RED-SHOULDERED HAWK and 1 COMMON RAVEN.
The complete list follows this message.

We hope the count will be as high next Saturday, when members of the Russell
County and Bristol Bird Clubs come for another Warbler Watch Day at the
Mayhorns'.

Everyone enjoyed the beautiful cool fall weather, the great birds, the good
food and good birding camraderie.
Those present from the Buchanan County Bird Club were Ed & Barbara Caudill,
Johnnie & Betty Ratliff, Roger & Lynda Mayhorn and young Todd Perkins, who
got a lifebird when he saw his first Blackburnian Warbler.
Members of the Bibbee Nature Club included Ann & Grady McCrae, Allen & Mindy
Waldron, Jim & Janet Myers and Jack & Helen Parris.

Enjoy the fall birds,

Roger Mayhorn
