Bristol Area Birders, Yesterday evening my wife, Lynda, and I checked out the Chimney Swifts at the Grundy High School building. A couple of days ago they numbered around 4000. Yesterday we counted around 2100, counting by fives as they dropped into the chimney. I also counted 12 Common Nighthawks passing by overhead. This morning with a temp of 59F and clear blue sky my backyard produced the following migrants, even though I was only able to observe for a few minutes: Northern Parula 1 Tennessee Warblers 3 Yellow-throated Warblers 3 Black-throated Green Warblers 4 Yellow-throated Vireo 1 Scarlet Tanagers 2 Eastern Kingbird 1 Roger Mayhorn Grundy, VA Buchanan County ************************************************* 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.
