Area Birders,
Today, 9/23/03, Ed Caudill of the Buchanan County Bird Club and I, Roger
Mayhorn, birded a reclaimed strip site on Smith Branch here in Buchanan
County.
The highlight of the day was a SEDGE WREN, a rare bird for the county. This
is only the second recorded sighting of this species here.
Moments after seeing the Sedge Wren and numerous PALM WARBLERS, a Black Bear
came ambling out of the Autumn Olive bushes toward us. Fortunately it was
some distance away and decided to change course before getting too close.
I managed to get photos of both the wren and the bear. I apologize for the
quality of the photos, as the wren was backlit and the bear was some
distance away. However, if you want to take a look you can see them at

Enjoy the birds,
Roger Mayhorn
Grundy, VA
