This morning instead of mowing the lawn, I went birding in the Elk
Garden area of Russell County and since that was so much fun I went to the Loop
area of Tazewell County in the afternoon. I attempted to take a photo of the
fledgling Red-tailed Hawk in the nest at Elk Garden but he would not cooperate.
His mother came back to the area and circled the nest. I think she told him to
keep his head down. She landed in a tree overhead and kept staring at me. As I
turned to leave there were 2 Black-billed Cuckoos sitting very still in a tree
across the road. This was my first chance at a cuckoo with a camera. I was also
able to take photos of the following
At Elk Garden -
Common Yellowthroat
Yellow Warbler
Angry Mother Red-tailed Hawk
Black Vulture
The Loop -
Solitary Sandpiper
Ovenbird
Warbling Vireo
Savannah Sparrow
Field Sparrow
Turkey Vulture
Elk Garden -
Blue-winged Tel
Home -
Azalea bush with butterflies
