Hello,
On Monday May 17, I went to Mossy Creek WVA, Jefferson Co.,in search of the
Warbling Vireo that was reported there.  The directions were excellent and I
found the bird in the hickory singing and actively foraging.  It have seldom
seen or heard them and this was a real treat.  I also birded the two
observation decks and saw the following: 
Pied-billed Grebe (in breeding pl.)
Green Heron
Wood Duck
Mallard
Blue-winged Teal (pair)
Mourning Dove
Chimney Swift
Northern Flicker
Olive-sided Flycatcher (in the almost dead trees to the right of observation
deck 1, I used a scope to make sure but it had a nice dark vest, as it
preened its wings white spots showed in front of the tail and sometimes when
it folded its wings white tufts would appear over the wing)
Tree Swallows
Barn Swallows
American Robin
Northern Mockingbird
Cedar Waxwings (I counted a max of 23 at one time but they were moving
around so more are possible)
Song Sparrow
Indigo Bunting
Red-winged Blackbird
Common Grackle
Orchard Oriole
American Goldfinch
