Yesterday, 8 members and guests of the Buchanan County Bird Club arrived early
at the Mayhorn home on Compton Mt for a warm breakfast prepared by Lynda before
birding 3 areas of the county looking for recently arrived migrants from their
southern wintering grounds. We birded our property (Mayhorns) of Compton Mt,
the head of Slate Creek and Enoch's Branch Park. We found 63 species including
15 warbler species, 2 hawk species - Sharp-shinned and Red-shouldered, 5
woodpecker species, 4 vireo species - White-eyed, Yellow-throated, Blue-headed
and Red-eyed, 4 swallow species - Purple Martin, Tree Swallow, Northern
Rough-winged and Barn, also 7 Scarlet Tanagers, 5 Indigo Buntings, 2 male
Baltimore Orioles, and 4 Rose-breasted Grosbeaks. (The complete list is below)
It was a perfect, warm spring day for birding. Thanks to Diana Worley for the
brownies and Lynda Mayhorn's home made fried apple pies that that kept us
going when hunger set in. At the end of the day we returned again to the
Mayhorn home to enjoy Lynda Mayhorn's delicious spaghetti with garlic bread and
home made Ding Dong cake, a great ending for a great day of birding with
friends.
Those birding were Don Carrier, Roger Lemaster, Roger Mayhorn, Daryl Owens,
Mike Sanders, Ed Talbott III and Dave and Diana Worley
