brown creepers, a handful of hermit thrushes, one yellow-billed cuckoo,
Tennessee, black and white, black throated blue, black throated green
warblers, other stuff as well. Ain't fall great?

kinglets, etc

Had my first of the season golden-crowned kinglets today. Also saw & heard several pine warblers, scarlet tanagers and TN warblers. A gray-cheeked thrush was dead at the base of the park headqurters window this morning.

sedge wren

cne01...@mail.wvnet.edu (Jim & Judy Phillips) — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 13:49:14 UT

Just got a good look at a sedge wren in our yard. It was about three feet from me and in the open. Then it headed into the neighbor's hay field.
We still have a palm warbler eating suet and at least one hummer is still here.

Influx of hummingbirds Falls Ridge Nature Conservancy Preserve

ridgelif...@yahoo.com (C Croy) — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 13:11:20 UT

After a few weeks of relative quiet, I have seen at least 7-10 hummingbirds at my feeders and flowers the last couple of days. I had almost taken my feeders down due to lack of use; now I am glad I have kept a few up. So far, they all look to be Ruby-throated's.

I am responding to the herbicide question. A high school classmate is director of Rachel Carson Council, and their purpose is to disseminate information on use of poisons and of alternate options. They will try to respond to anyone's inquiry, so anyone reading this can keep the e-mail and use it for such questions. If wdunson wants the information she offered to mail, feel free to contact her directly. I freely admit I'm clueless about all of this but I hope it helps.

Here area a couple of kettles of broadwings from a few weeks ago. Kinda' reminded me of what the "BIG BANG" must have looked like.

Re: [NRV Birds] palm warbler eating suet

samorch...@verizon.net (Stan Bentley) — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 23:08:20 UT

It is apparently a good time for palm warblers. While touring the woods and fields of Bland County on Monday, I ran onto three separate flights of palm warblers. All were in open field areas along fencerows and roadsides where red cedars were present. One lone common yellowthroat, in contrast, was in mixed oak woods - nowhere near any wet areas as one might expect.

We had a palm warbler feeding at our suet feeder this evening. I don't remember seeing that before.
We also still have at least one hummer.

I heard lots of birds flying over our place about 6:30 this morning. It will be interesting to see what shows up in the woods today.

There was no count on 9/26 & 9/27 due to rain. The mountain was fogged in on 9/28 until nearly 2:00.
