Birds in Black Mountain



Visited the pastures on North Fork road today and had an unusual sighting
there.  Through the upper part of the pasture there's a split rail fence and
creeping along the rail were two Yellow Throated Warblers.  Apparently
looking for spiders.  I didn't know they would forage that far from trees.
Also heard a Barred owl calling in the day at the pond at the end of North
Fork road.

Got home to a nice flock of mixed warblers.  Must be the year for finding
Wilson's warbler.  Also had:

Tennessee Warbler
Canada Warbler
American Redstarts
Black & White Warbler

and one other warbler that might have been an Orange Crown but didn't get a
good enough look to tell.

Hummers are starting to get very agressive, saw one chase off a blue jay!
