On Tuesday, Tom and Laverne Hunter, Bob and Jean Montgomery, Roger Mayhorn and 
I hiked Guesses Fork in Hurley. Our target species for the day, a Cerulean 
Warbler, was the first species recorded as we began our walk along the 
mountaintop. The bird was very cooperative as he sang, ate, and posed for us 
among the branches of trees along both sides of the trail. We also had great 
looks at Yellow-breasted Chat, Hooded Warbler, Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Scarlet 
Tanager, Cedar Waxwing, Killdeer, and Indigo Bunting. Other species of note 
included a White-eyed Vireo, which Laverne identified after hearing just one 
note quite a distance away, two Yellow-throated Vireos, and a Common Raven. 
Roger kept a complete list of species. It was a great day of birding with good 
birds and good friends.
