[Bristol-Birds] Northern Waterthrush / Bay-breasted Warbler - Buchanan Co., VA

Bristol Birders,
 
I decided to look for birds around my house after a late day thunder shower 
today.  The first bird I saw was a waterthrush under our hemlock tree.  At 
first I thought it might be an incredibly late Louisiana but then noted the 
dense streaks and faint yellow wash of a Northern Waterthrush.  This was a new 
yard bird for Michelle and me.
 
I then walked down along the Levisa river and noted a Bay-breasted Warbler, a 
fairly late Tennessee Warbler, and at least 4 Blue-headed Vireos.  Eight Wood 
Ducks were also seen floating down the river away from me.
 
Going back to school has taken a lot of time away from my birding but you can 
still find great birds just taking a 15 minute walk through your yard.
