Cross Mountain, Campbell County
8:30 to 11:30 am
Lola and I birded the Cross Mountain area above Caryville Saturday morning. We
primarily focused on the old coal mining bench (road) on the left side of
Mountain Road that is ~4 miles up Mountain Road from the Shoney’s in Caryville.
There is a new metal gate at the entrance to this bench. Though the gate is
not locked it was down so we parked on the shoulder in the tight right-hand
curve where the coal mining bench road starts. Parking outside the gate is
limited to maybe 4 vehicles with possibly a spot or two at the side road just
below. Within 100 yards we had a Golden-winged Warbler in the exact tree it
has sung from the previous two years - has to be the same bird. There were not
a large number of birds but the ones we had sung well. The leaves are just
coming out at this elevation which made spotting birds easier.
