Bristol Area Birders, Yesterday I had 28 species and 95 birds in my yard on Compton Mountain, here in Buchanan County VA. I had three Vireo species - Red-eyed, White-eyed and Blue-headed. I had a pair of Am. Redstarts, a very handsome male Hooded Warbler, a small flock of Cedar Waxwings, a Scarlet Tanager, a pair of Blue-gray Gnatcatchers and a Pileated Woodpecker eating Sassafras berries. Later in the day my wife and I checked out Poplar Gap Park, looking for shore birds at the couple of large mudholes there. The only shore birds observed were 6 Killdeer, but we did see 23 Horned Larks, both adults and juveniles. This is probably the same flock reported by Ed Talbott a couple of weeks ago. Enjoy the birds, Roger Mayhorn Grundy, VA Buchanan County Bird Club ************************************************* BRISTOL BIRDS NET LIST 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.
