MessageDon,
I don't want to start any competition between friends but you have photographs
that stand up to someone else I know. I won't mention any names but his
initials are (Roger Mayhorn). I always said when I grow up I want be a
photographer like him but maybe I could be half as good as either of you.
Great photograph. ....Sorry, Roger : (

Saturday turned out to be a great birding day at Breaks Interstate Park.
Birding with Roger, Linda, and David is the perfect recipe for finding good
birds. Memorable highlights were first of the season (for Dawn and I) Black and
White warblers, Blue-Grey Gnatcatcher, and a LIFEBIRD for Dawn and I, the
Louisiana Waterthrush. We also had three types of swallows together at the same
time and learned a new call from a Red-Winged Blackbird. Later in the evening
we found an Eastern Phoebe on the nest in the park.
Special thanks to Master Birder David Raines for helping Dawn and I get a
lifebird!
Dawn and I spent an quite enjoyable evening at the park, and on our way out
this morning, witnessed some devastating flooding on the road from the Breaks
to Haysi. Many waterfalls had formed were none existed the previous morning,
and at two locations the pavement had given way and we were forced to enter the
on-coming traffic lane while dodging lots of debris. A small tree was in the
road near the Garden Hole. We witnessed two entire trees floating down what I
believe to be the Russell Fork river. (In downtown Haysi, is that correct?)
Good luck to our friends that live in the area and be very careful on the
roads until repairs are completed. The rain continues to fall in Bristol.
