Michelle, Chazzy and I headed out at 6:30 a.m. and watched the sunrise at Beaver Knob, Kentucky - just a quarter mile or so from the Virginia state line. Beaver Knob is a reclaimed strip mine site and in the past has been a great place to locate sparrows and other grassland loving species. The birds were already singing when we arrived and our first warbler of the day was a Yellow Warbler. During our hike we found three Blue-winged Warblers and one each of Cerulean, Yellow-throated, Common Yellowthroat, Ovenbird, and Black-and-white Warblers. White-eyed Vireos were back in good numbers and we also located a Horned Lark. Sparrow species included White-throated, White-crowned, Savannah (3), Field, Song and Chipping. We also located several species of woodpecker, five Killdeer, and a pair of Gnatcatchers. It was a beautiful morning of birding and the rains held off until 9:30 at which point we decided to head home.
