| << Back 7/10/02 Nature notebook SMN Birds: ° Black-and-white warbler, yellow warbler, American redstart, tree swallow and noteworthy, a white-throated sparrow - white-throateds spend the winter with us but most nest in Canada. To have one here in July raises questions but the bird is most likely an early migrant or post-nesting wanderer (these birds were recorded 7/6 on the regular -1st. Saturday of the month - Beaver Lake Birdwalk in Asheville) ° Blue grosbeaks (on the Greenway in Franklin, Beth Brinson & Kathy King 6/27) ° Chestnut-sided warbler, black throated blue warbler, indigo bunting, red-eyed vireo, blue-headed vireo, wood thrush and veery still being heard and seen along the Blue Ridge Parkway-BRP- (various reports, Waynesville Overlook, Jenkins Ridge Overlook and Big Witch Overlook are some good local stops) ° Barred owl (Rainbow Springs Road near Wayah Gap Kathy King & Beth Brinson)
