Area Birders, Lately several new migrants have shown up in my area of Buchanan County. A couple of days ago two Pine Warblers were in our apple tree. The first Gray Catbird has arrived. I heard a Chat in a neighbor's pasture. Two White-crowned Sparrows have shown up at the feeders. I could hear several Hooded Warblers singing. A White-eyed Vireo hangs around the yard. A pair nested here last year. This morning I heard a Least Flycatcher in the field just across the road. A pair of those nested here last year as well. Five Rose-breasted Grosbeaks appeared at the sunflower feeders. First a male showed up and I got these two photos. http://www.bcplnet.org/birdclub/gallery/RBGrosbeak3.htm http://www.bcplnet.org/birdclub/gallery/RBGrosbeak4.htm Then a female flew in. http://www.bcplnet.org/birdclub/gallery/RBGrosbeak5.htm She looks pretty good in her own right even though she?s not as colorful as the male. Enjoy the birds, Roger Mayhorn Grundy, VA ************************************************* 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.
