Bristol Birders,

I had a nice treat this morning at the public library in Grundy, VA.
We were setting up for the American Legion to conduct a flag ceremony
when I heard some high pitched notes coming from the locust trees in
front of the library.  I saw a warbler and retrieved by binoculars
from the truck.  It turned out to be a Cape May Warbler in breeding
plumage.  The bird then flew down to the crab apple tree next to me
and hopped out on a limb - I tired to focus the binoculars but it was
too close - about 10 feet away.  I just stood there and enjoyed the
view for a full 30 seconds before it flew off.

International Migratory Bird Day is May 10th.  Here are some links.
