Twelve members of the Lynchburg Bird Club birded on Warbler Road this morning.
After picnicking at North Creek, some of us went on to Solitude (dipped on
Prothonotary Warbler) and the James River Bridge (local route 614 near exit 168
of I-81). We saw/heard sixty species, including thirteen warblers
(CHESTNUT-SIDED,BLACK-THROATED BLUE & GREEN, BLACKBURNIAN, CERULEAN,
BLACK-AND-WHITE, REDSTART, WORM-EATING, OVENBIRD, LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH,
HOODED, CANADA, & YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT (all were seen/heard on Warbler Rd
except the chat which we heard near the James River Bridge). Other highlights:
WILD TURKEYS seen early this morning on the parkway near Warbler Rd, GREEN
HERON calling as we stopped at Solitude, BROAD-WINGED HAWK seen by a few
people, three vireos (YELLOW-THROATED, BLUE-HEADED, & RED-EYED), four thrushes
(BLUEBIRD & ROBIN - both near Solitude, VEERY & WOOD THRUSH-both on Warbler
RD), great looks at several male & female SCARLET TANAGERS, only limited views
of male ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK but most saw a female, and four PINE SISKINS
feeding above us on Warbler Rd.
