VA Birders,
Until this fall the latest recorded date for a Chestnut-sided Warbler within
Buchanan County was 10/2/03, a bird that was found here at my place on Compton
Mt. A male Chestnut-sided was found here again on 10/6/05 as well.
Last Saturday, 10/22/05, BCBC member, David Raines of the Breaks community
(near the Breaks Park) observed a Chestnut-sided on his property, establishing
a new late date for the species.
Enjoy the birds,
Roger Mayhorn
