Area Birders,
This morning another adult WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW was at my platform feeder
along with 4 immatures. This is only the second adult I have seen this
season. The other adult was at the feeder a couple of days ago. I also had 3
PURPLE FINCHES, one immature looking male (pinkish cast overall) and two
females.
Later in the day my wife, Lynda, and I checked out Laurel Lake in the Breaks
Park. We were hoping to see some of the 48 Hooded Mergansers, Scaup and
Ring-necked Ducks that were on the lake last Saturday, but the only
waterfowl to be found were 7 WOOD DUCKS. They are indeed one of our most
beautiful birds.
While I was looking for ducks a small feeder flock came through containing
both RUBY-CROWNED and GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETS. Present also was my first
HERMIT THRUSH of the season.
Enjoy the birds,
Roger Mayhorn
Grundy, VA
