Hi All,
My apologies for this late post. On Saturday, May 10th, four BCBC members, Don
Carrier, Mollie McCutcheon, Roger Mayhorn and David Raines birded Compton
Mountain and an area just south of it.
We logged 81 species for the day with the highlight of the day being a singing
Winter Wren found on Harry's Branch, which should have gone north by now. A
singing Winter Wren was found in the same area a couple of weeks before. I am
going back to that area within the next week to see if the wren is still there.
Another great find was a Brown Creeper.
We had 18 warbler species including one Swainson's, 4 vireo species and 4 hawk
species.
