Happy Valley Migrants



A small group from the Foothills Bird Club visited the Wagner Property in
Happy Valley, NC this morning and were quite surprised---and pleased---to
find a good number of migrants!  The first bird of the day was a gorgeous
singing male Scarlet Tanager!  The next was Black-throated Green Warbler,
Northern Parula, Blue-headed Vireo, Common Yellowthroat, Blue-gray
Gnatcatcher, White-eyed Vireo and Broad-winged Hawk.  Other migrants seen
were Eastern Kingbirds, Barn Swallows, Rusty Blackbirds, Osprey, and
Blue-winged Teal.  We took several photos of one tail-less Kingbird (boy,
did he look weird when flying!!!!!) and a Rusty Blackbird.  Click on the
website at the bottom of the page to see them.  Click on the Spring Migrants
link to see them.
