Hi Bird Folks Dave Worley and myself birded Elk Garden,Va. this morning and were not disappointed. Plenty and song and activity in the tree tops. Here are the highlights: Yellow Warblers everywhere Warbling Vireos Green Heron Black-throated Blue warbler Kingbirds we saw one chase a Blue Jay, Tree Swallow,and believe it or not a Raven from its territory. It was the king this morning. White-crowned sparrows Large flocks of Blue Jays flying north. Three swallow species and many of the local species. Ravens were everywhere I wonder what brought them down into the valley. See You Bob(Bebirding)Riggs Lebanon,Va. ___________________________________________________ GO.com Mail Get Your Free, Private E-mail at http://mail.go.com ************************************************* BRISTOL BIRDS NET LIST This is a regional birding list sponsored by the Bristol Bird Club to facilitate communications between birders and bird clubs of Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee.
