Craig and All
On July 9, My wife and I saw a adult male Yellow-Rumped Warbler at Hog Island
NWR In Surry Co. My first for this time of year. This is not in same area, it
is in the coastal plane. I to would like to know of other sightings I didn't
receive and feed back on my posting of this bird.
The VSO blue book has Sept. 30 to May 15 and not listed as a breeder as of
June
1987. I am so glade we have the list server for birding help. Dose anybody
know when the new blue book will happen?

Yesterday (8/26) Diane Holsinger and I birded the
Pocosin Cabin Fire Road and the area around the Big
Meadows Visitor Center in Shenandoah National Park.
At approximately 11:30 we observed an alternate
plumaged male yellow-rumped warbler at Big Meadows
Visitor Center. The bird sang repeatedly from a group
of red spruce for the entire time we were in the area
(approx. 20 minutes), as if it were on territory. We
did not observe a female or see any other behavior
suggestive of nesting. In recent years, yellow-rumped
warblers have nested in a stand of balsam firs on
Shenandoah Mountain on the Rockingham Co.,
VA/Pendleton Co., WV line, but I am not aware of
breeding season records in the northern Blue Ridge
Mountains. Has anyone else noted yellow-rumped
warblers in this area this summer?
