[Bristol-Birds] Re: Pine Siskins/Musick's/Whitetop Mnt.

This area of the Whitetop Mountain and vicinity is actually located
in Grayson County, Va rather than Washington Co., VA.  I double
checked it before sending the message and found the error.  And,
then of all things, forgot to correct the message.  Sorry about that.

Let's go birding......

  On Friday (11/23) while birding with Andy Jones at Musick's Campground
  on S.H. Lake, Sullivan Co., TN, we had two Pine Siskins feeding on the
  ground near the swimming pool.  Also two Red-winged Blackbirds.

  We birded the Whitetop Mountain and Whitetop Station area of Washington
  County, VA looking for invasion species.  The only interesting bird was
  a Red-breasted Nuthatch feeding on the shoulder of the rock road to the 
  summit of Whitetop at 4,600 feet elevation. The mountain had some lingering 
  light snow and heavy hoar frost on the vegetation.  The temperature at 
  Elk Garden parking area was 18 degrees F.   The high elevations from 
  4,400 feet up to 5,525 feet were socked in with fog.  We saw many juncos 
  flying up along the roadways.
