There was a lot of enjoyment this past Sunday when Don Carrier, Daryl Owens,
Roger Mayhorn, Mike Sanders and Jerry Thornhill birded the Elk Garden area of
Russell County and The Cove in Tazewell County. The highlight of the day was
finding three Bald Eagles in the Cove area. One was an adult and two were
immature birds. The most numerous species, aside from starlings and crows, were
American Robins 47, Indigo Buntings 23, Barn Swallows 22, Eastern Meadowlarks
22, and Song Sparrows 20. Some other interesting species found were Red-headed
Woodpeckers, Acadian Flycatcher, Eastern Kingbirds, White-eyed and
Yellow-throated Vireos, Cedar Waxwings at a nest, Grasshopper Sparrows, both
Blue and Rose-breasted Grosbeaks and both Orchard and Baltimore Orioles. The
complete list follows.
