On Saturday, June 6, three BBC members elected to go on the Pisgah National
Forest field trip. They were Lois Cox, John Hay and John Moyle. The day
was beautiful and the birds were very cooperative (52 species). We began by
skirting the edges of Grandfather Mountain, particularly the parkway pulloffs
and their trails. We had great views of the Appalachians and were able to
investigate several trails and camp areas. The second half of the trip
involved visiting Linville Gorge and Falls. They were spectacular! Here is a
list of the 52 species of birds logged on our outing: Canada Goose, Wild
Turkey (first pair was a male courting a female at a pulloff with his tail
spread wide!), Green Heron, Broad-winged Hawk, Rock Pigeon, Mourning Dove,
Chimney Swift, Downy Woodpecker, Northern Flicker, Pileated Woodpecker, Eastern
Wood-Pewee, Acadian Flycatcher, Eastern Phoebe, Blue-headed Vireo, Red-eyed
Vireo, Blue Jay, American Crow, Common Raven, Northern Rough-winged Swallow,
Cliff Swallow, Barn Swallow, Black-capped Chickadee, Tufted Titmouse,
Red-breasted Nuthatch, White-breasted Nuthatch, Carolina Wren, Winter Wren,
Golden-crowned Kinglet, Eastern Bluebird, Veery, Wood Thrush, American Robin,
Gray
Catbird, European Starling, Cedar Waxwing, Northern Parula, Chestnut-sided
Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, Black-throated Blue Warbler (One, a male, flew
around us for several minutes singing and perching within 15 feet),
Black-throated Green Warbler, Yellow-throated Warbler, Black-and-white Warbler,
Ovenbird, Hooded Warbler, Canada Warbler, Scarlet Tanager, Eastern Towhee, Song
