Depends on what species you're looking for. Laurel Fork Rd to Allegheny
Rd has the potential for Alder Flycatcher and Mourning Warbler (though
Paddy Knob in nearby Bath County is the best known spot for the latter),
the roads around Blue Grass have Bobolink and Vesper Sparrow, and there
are some spots along Wimer Mountain Rd and US 250 that may have
Golden-winged Warbler. There are other high-elevation species that are
easy to find in Highland, but those are a few of the birds most people
look for up there. A Richmond Audubon group was just up there Saturday
and had close to 90 species.

I will be heading out to Highland Co. near Monterey this coming Friday. Any
recommendations for good spots to bird this time of year, especially if there
is light rain?
Looked on eBird, but there doesn't seem to be much reporting from Highland Co.
during Spring migration.
