Buchanan Birders,
Michelle and I made a quick hike around the mountain this afternoon. The
birding was slow but we found Yellow-throated, Black-and-white, and
Black-throated Green Warblers along the way. We also found a pair of Blue-gray
Gnatcatchers and a couple of Blue-headed Vireos. Michelle spotted our first
Fire Pinks in bloom for 2007. We also ran across some flowers that we could
not identify - please feel free to e-mail me the names so I can update the
pictures on the web. For those interested, here is a link to some of the hike
pictures:

I also included a picture of the 6 Bluebird eggs in our box. That's going to
be a tight squeeze if they all hatch. I also spotted at least one
White-throated Sparrow today - probably the most brilliantly marked one I've
ever seen. He'll be leaving any day now and heading north. We also still have
a couple of Juncos hanging around. I expect them to head to higher elevations
soon - we are at the low spot in the county. Other river birds include Wood
Ducks, Kingfishers, and Great Blue Herons.
Shirley Justus also reports the Ovenbird has returned to her backyard.
