Saw my first Rough-winged Swallow near Haysi, flying over the Russell Fork River. Later at home in Breaks I saw 4 Purple Martins fly over. They kept going, heading North.

I think I may check it out tomorrow. ************************************************* 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.
