["Troy Ettel" <Troy.Ettel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

On my way back from the Blacksburg Partners in Flight meeting, I decided =
to take a detour and check out Royal Blue Wildlife Management Area, hoping =
to catch an early migrant.=20

After parking just inside the Royal Blue boundary off Hwy 63, I hiked up =
Turley Mountain, only to find a boisterous Blue-headed Vireo singing away =
near the top. I heard this bird and got several great looks throughout my =
two-hour ridgetop hike. There may have been more than one, but it is =
difficult to tell as this particular ridge system meaders a lot causing =
you to continually cross within hearing distance of the same general area. =
   =20

All other birds encountered were the usual expected species, however the =
Eastern Phoebes were abundant and constantly calling.
