Bristol Area Birders, The last couple of days have been excellent for birding my yard on Compton Mountain, here in Buchanan County. Sunday I logged 40 species with 8 of them being warblers. The Sunday warblers included American Redstart 2, Blackburnian Warbler (beautiful male) 1, Black-throated Green 3, Cape May 2, Cerulean Warbler 1, Tennessee Warbler 1, Yellow-breasted Chat 2 and Yellow-throated Warbler 3. Today (Monday) I counted 41 species with 11 of them being warblers. Monday's Warblers were Blackburnian Warbler 1 (young female), Black-and-White Warbler 1, Black-throated Green 1, Blue-winged 3, Cerulean 1, Chestnut-sided 1, Hooded Warbler 1, Golden-winged 1, Tennessee 3, Worm-eating 2, Yellow-breasted Chat 2. I took photos of several of these birds. You can see them at http://www.bcplnet.org/birdclub/gallery.htm Downloading photos may take a few seconds because some have more than one photo under one title. I hope you enjoy them. For those interested the complete list for both days follows. I can't wait for tomorrow morning to see what shows up "heh,heh."
