Area Birders,
Ed Talbott, vice president of the Buchanan County Bird Club, and I, Roger
Mayhorn, birded an overgrown strip site near Compton Mountain this morning
and had a total of 24 species. It was a day for wrens and kinglets with 7
CAROLINA WRENS, 3 WINTER WRENS, and 12 GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETS. The
highlight of the morning was when one of the Winter Wrens began to sing.
It's not something we hear very often in our area.
A FOX SPARROW was our most unusual sparrow of the day, and a YELLOW-BELLIED
SAPSUCKER was the least common of the woodpeckers seen.
We heard a RED-SHOULDERED HAWK in the distance. We also came across 5 WILD
TURKEYS, and flushed 2 RUFFED GROUSE.
The small adult SHARP-SHINNED HAWK that I reported on the 22nd. was back at
my feeder again this morning giving the smaller birds fits. Finally 3 Tufted
Titmice came out and harassed him until he gave up and flew away.
