Larry McDaniel and myself (Rob Biller) made an after work trip to the top of
Roan Mountain last Thursday (6/28/07) after work. We started at the Nursing
Home in Roan Mountain where we found the resident Willow Flycatcher there at
the top of a Willow tree, then proceeded up the mountain through the rain to
Carver's Gap.
Here are the rest of the highlights from up at Carver's Gap and upward to the
garden area at the top (Carver County, TN - Mitchell County, NC). Sorry for
the late report.
