Hi All,
This morning was a time for unusual birds at our place here on the mountain.
The first surprise was a Red-eyed Vireo. The latest date we have for this
species is October 2, 2004 when Ed Talbott III and I saw one at Enoch's Branch
near Grundy.
The second surprise was a juvenile Red-headed Woodpecker that flew overhead
then landed momentarily in a locust tree. I did manage a photo before it left.
David Raines had one fly over his place a few days ago. We only get to see
these birds in the area during fall migration.
The third surprise later in the day was a female Ruby-throated Hummingbird at
our feeder. This is not a late date for the area, but it is late for us to see
one on the mountain.
Here are a couple of photos of the vireo and the woodpecker.
