All

The Golden-wings and Bobolinks were seen along Wimer's road near the WV 
border.  Traveled the Laurel fork road in search of Warblers but found 
relatively few but got nice looks Vesper Sparrows and  2 Bald Eagles along 
the last open stretches of Laurel Fork road (644?) before heading into the 
woods and on to Locust Springs WV. BE were seen at 1:00 pm. One BE was a 4-5 
year old with a thin terminal band on an otherwise white tail and the other 
BE was a younger bird mostly black with white axillaries. They grappled 
tylons and toppled head over heals and called out in short stacatto 
sqawks..... not sure if this was play  or what but it was neat to observe. 
Some real misses in todays count most notably no Black-throated Green and no 
Kestrels. ....both of which I would have bet good money on seeing in 
Highland today.
