Area Birders,
Michelle, Chazzy, and I birded the Breaks Park today. The migrants are
returning to the mountains of SW Virginia. At our first stop, the Towers
overlook, we heard a Black-and-white Warbler as well as two Black-throated
Green Warblers in the gorge. Blue-headed Vireos were heard singing all over
the park. Along the Geological Trail we saw a trio of Black-throated Green
Warblers - all chasing each other in the treetops.. At Laurel Lake we heard a
distant Yellow-throated Warbler - somewhere up near the Visitor's Center - but
could not relocate the bird after driving up there. While having lunch we saw
a distant raptor that could have been a Broad-winged Hawk but we were not
sure. Michelle found probably the best bird of the day when she located a
Red-breasted Nuthatch at the Towers Overlook parking lot. It was a great day
of spring birding and the best is yet to come. For those interested, here is a
link to some of our hike pictures:
