Today while biking on the Virginia Creeper Trail, I heard a Swainson's warbler
singing (seew seew seee SISTerville). The location was between mile markers
seven and six, where the trail runs parallel to the Middle Fork Holston River.
This was my first in about seven years--the last one heard was on Beaverdam
creek, between Shady Valley and Damascus (With Wallace Coffey).
Encountered lots of other birds including a Cooper's hawk and some Acadian
flycatchers. The section between Alvarado Station and Watauga road, about nine
miles round trip, is a great place for biking, birds, blooms, and solitude.
