This morning I had an excellent look at a Connecticut warbler on the E.
Fork path of Crooked Creek Wildlife Management Area. (About 7 miles
east of Galax, VA, from Rt58 turn right (South) onto Rt 620 & then left
onto Rt 711) I was wondering what was making a rather weird call note &
thinking it was probably a towhee, when the Connecticut emerged from the
thicket and stared at me for a few seconds before flying off. Also
present were numerous Tenn., Cape May & BT blues + redstart, magnolia,
C. yellowthroat, chestnut-sided, & Bay-breasted & singing
yellow-throated & Blue-headed vireos + ruby-c kinglet.
Yesterday I went to the Blue Ridge sites Will Cook reported
about (206, 217 & 218) & found 13 species of warblers & a yellow-bellied
sapsucker.
