Folks
Quite a busy weekend up here in the Asheville area. The big flocks of
Blue-winged Teal that were grounded by the bad weather have moved on, with
just a handful still being present on various lakes.
I visited several of the more poplar birding sites in the area: Jackson
Park and Hooper Lane, both in Henderson County and here are the highlights:
Jackson Park- (October 5)
11 Warblers including Bay-breast, Hooded and Yellow-rumped
3 Vireos, including Philadelphia (1)
Hooper Lane (October 5)
Marsh Wren (2), Sedge Wren (1)
North Asheville (October 6)
White-throated Sparrow (1); Ruby-crowned Kinglet (2)
Our next Day-trip concentrates on sparrows with a trip to Kituwah near
Cherokee with Aaron Steed on October 11
