A little respite was found in the Blue Ridge mountains this weekend however
still pretty hefty heat and humidity for the higher elevation. Birds were
fairly quiet. Butterflies were in abundance and many deer with fawns were
munching along the roadsides. An incredible full moon Saturday night reflected
beautifully across Abbott Lake casting Sharp Top in the shadows.
A few bird highlights:
Bobwhite
Wild turkey
Common Nighthawk
Eastern Wood-Pewee
Eastern Phoebe
Chimney Swift
Downy woodpecker
Pileated woodpecker
Blue-grey gnatcatcher
Broad-winged Hawk
Red-tailed Hawk
Raven
Cedar waxwing
