Latest Update: April 30, 2013
It's nesting time for Downy Woodpeckers and lots of other permanent residents. Photo by Steven Bullock.
A lot of our breeding species are back in force now, really most with the exception of some of the late Flycatchers. Wood Thrush, Veery, most resident warblers, Scarlet Tanager, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and many many others are here. Numbers will continue to improve as we head into the first week of May and the weather keeps warming.
Most of our Golden-winged Warbler locations have a few bird already back but more are coming! Today we had my first ever Lawrence's Warbler! Really cool bird. See pic attached.
Keep looking up and ears open!
For more information on birds in the High Country call the Watauga Birding Hotline at 828-265-0198. Also visit www.ncaudubon.org, www.carolinabirdclub.org and visit the Audubon North Carolina blog at http://ncaudubonblog.org/blog/
Lawrence's Warbler is the rarest fo the hybrids between Golden-winged and Blue-winged Warblers. This one was up high at one of our study sites today, Photo by Anna Tisdale.
