Reece Jamerson, Brookie and Jean Potter and Bryan Stevens spent some of the evening, Friday, May 11, birding at Roan Mountain. At Roan Highlands Nursing Center, we had a Willow Flycatcher. For the Potters, this is the third spring in a row finding this species at this location. At Picnic Shelter No. 1 near the state park, we had Common Yellowthroat and Chestnut-sided Warbler. Near Twin Springs, we had a Black-bellied Cuckoo, American Redstart and Least Flycatchers. At Carver's Gap, before dark, we had Red-breasted Nuthatches, Gray Catbirds, Common Yellowthroats and more. After dark, we heard two Northern Saw-whet Owls and saw one owl. Going back down the mountain, we stopped at Twin Springs and called in a Barred Owl. We tried for Whip-poor-wills in Oak Hill community of Hampton off SImerly Creek Road, but here we struck out. At home in Hampton, TN, Bryan Stevens is still seeing Rose-breasted Grosbeaks at the feeders.
