Yesterday Jane & I birded along River Mountain Road (Route 640) from
Blackford toward Lebanon. We had a tree "full" of Eastern Kingbirds (5 of
them), and a Double-crested Cormorant in Big Cedar Creek. We don't see many
DCC's in Russell County. My only previous recollections are birds on Laurel
Bed Lake.
This morning, I walked up the mountain on Hayters Gap Road (VA 80). I
spotted a female Orchard Oriole, a first for me around home. I also saw a
Cedar Waxwing that had a large yellow spot just behind its left wing. The
yellow was as bright as its tail band. I've never noticed this on a waxwing
before. Is it something others have seen? I regret no picture, but I
didn't take the camera with me. I realize this opens me to all manner of
character attacks from a certain newsletter editor, but I wanted to see if
anyone else had seen this.
Jerry
