Greetings all--
I will be making my first trip to NC for a quick week late Sept. - early
Oct. Birding will not be the focus of our trip, but I'd appreciate
suggestions for birdy spots in the Winston-Salem area as well as the
Asheville-Blue Ridge Parkway-Great Smoky Mts. area. We won't be able to
do much hiking, so spots accessible by car would be best. Our itinerary
is still being developed, so your hints will help me figure out how to
slip in as much birding as possible. As a Pacific Northwesterner, I'm
looking forward to learning some eastern species.
Thanks in advance--

To Sandy and all
Hartsell Cash was a great person and a wonderful birder, teacher and
friend! I had the opportunity to bird with him on many occasions and he
helped me many times by telling me where to go for birds. He was a true
gentleman and a scholar! He will be missed by all of us, but most of all
by Sandy !
May God rest his soul and may we all be as kind to beginning birders as
he was to us!

I am going on a cruise out the Aleutians in September. The
literature for the trip says that the Nat. Geo. Field Guide 4th
Edition is the guide to take. I own the 3rd edition. Are there
significant changes between the 3rd and 4th which makes it
apporopriate to purchase it? I am a little reluctant if it is not
critical because the 5th edition comes out in November.

I don't have many hummers but for me a record 3. I have 1 mature male and 2
juvenile males as best I can tell. At any rate they are using my feeders a
lot more than in previous years. the one by the buddleia is the target of
much skirmishing. I swear that they hit each other. While walking the dogs
this morning, had a family of yb cuckoos calling to one another. At the
barn yesterday, I had 2 juvenile rs hawks calling to the parents and fish
and American crows mobbing them. Tempting to say that they were calling for
help. all birds in NE orange county. bbrooks
