A visit to the Biltmore estate that was not billed as a birdy one, did turn up 
some interesting birds. (Who can resist?).

A Red headed woodpecker on the back side of the Bass pond was a surprise, 
despite recent reports of a group on a trail nearby. The only warbler flock 
seen was mostly composed of Yellow rumps, but did have a Nashville embedded 
along with a Blue headed vireo. Also unexpected, was a small flock of Tree 
swallows on the flat below Antler village.
