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 that I have heard such chatter from these vireos in the field. I also had many FOY birds. The birds in all CAPS are FOY (first of year).
