Area Birders, Michelle and I hiked a section of the New River Trail on Saturday. We found lots of new birds for 2008 including Palm and Prairie Warblers, Chats, Acadian Flycatcher, and Orchard Oriole. For those interested, here is a link to some of our hike pictures: http://www.pbase.com/aquilaet/newriver2 Friday I spent some time up on the Blue Ridge Parkway around Roanoke looking for spring migrants. For anyone interested, here is a link to some pics I made that day also: http://www.pbase.com/aquilaet/parkway I was not sure of some of the flower/plant names so feel free to correct me. Get out and enjoy the birds this week, Ed Talbott Grundy, VA ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
