Hello Bristol Area and Tennessee Birders,
Today I had a small touch of Avian Flu which kept me out of work, but
sent me into the mountains of Carter County over the back forest
service road of Pond Mountain.
I had a good number of Warblers, Vireos, and other good birds. Even at
the highest elevations of Pond Mountain there were numerous
Black-throated Green Warblers, Blue-headed Vireos, and a surprise
visiit by a Red-breated Nuthatch.
I was amazed to hear the chatter, mews, and other such neat sounds
coming from the Blue-headed Vireos present. I stayed and hunted these
birds down to make sure that they were indeed Blue-headed Vireos. This
is the first year that I can remember observing such chatter from these
vireos in the field.
I also had many FOY birds. The birds in all CAPS are FOY (first of
year).

Northen Parula
BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER
