Area Birders, Today, while my wife, Lynda, and I (Roger Mayhorn) were checking some bluebird boxes in the Breaks Interstate Park area of Buchanan and Dickenson Counties, we found some interesting birds but no warblers. We found BLUE-HEADED VIREOS in 5 different locations within the park. Three TREE SWALLOWS were active in an open area near the park. A RED-TAILED HAWK was being stooped on by a pair of RED-SHOULDERED HAWKS as all three raptors were being chased by a small flock of crows. Another pair of RED-TAILS were observed a mile or so distant from this activity. Shortly after, a Wilson's Snipe was flushed from a soggy field not far away. By the way 6 partially completed bluebird nests were found in nest boxes. The first partial nest was found on 3/26, a new early record for our young bluebird trails. Enjoy the birds, Roger Mayhorn Compton Mt Buchanan County VA ************************************************* BRISTOL BIRDS NET LIST Bristol Birds Net Photo Gallery located at: http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/jwcoffeyy/album?.dir=/efd5 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. -------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to Bristol-Birds.
