Birders,
Today, my mom, Shirley Justus, and I birded a strip-mined site and
cattle pasture located on Guesses Fork in Buchanan County, VA. We
ended with a total of 50 species, including 11 species of warbler
and four species of vireo. I've listed more than half of the species
below. Many of the birds were very cooperative, giving us fantastic
up-close looks. We saw a Prairie Warbler no more than eight feet
away, the best look I've ever had and a life bird for mom. He was
brilliantly colored, the rufous streaks on his back plainly visible,
and as he perched and sang he seemed determined to make himself the
most outstanding bird of the day, despite some stiff competition
from Cerulean and Blue-winged warblers. Mom gained three other new
birds for her life list as well. We also noted the first Scarlet
Tanager we've heard this year, and an immature Orchard Oriole.
