TN Birders,
Early this morning Bob Riggs, newly selected member to the VSO board of
directors, and I birded Horn Mountain and Harry's Branch in Buchanan Co. VA.
It was a super warbler day with the highlight being the elusive Swainson's.
The birds were moving through the gaps and along the ridges. Sometimes it
was fantastic as we would have 4 or 5 species of warblers within earshot at
the same time. It was also sometimes frustrating but intriguing; We followed
the Bluewings several hundred yards before we got a good look. The warblers
were as follows:
Swainson's
Black-and-white
Chestnut-sided (spectacular plumage)
Black-throated Green
Orange-crowned
Tennessee
Yellow-rumped (spectacular plumage)
Yellow-throated
Blue-winged
Hooded
Northern Parula
Worm Eating
Louisiana Waterthrush
Other migrants were:
Ovenbird
Gray Catbird (1st one of the season)
Scarlet Tanager (1st one of the season)
Wood Thrush
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
Yellow throated Vireo
Red-eyed Vireo
A great day to be in the Appalachians,
Roger Mayhorn
Grundy, VA
