Listen between the titmouse and scarlet tanager for the vireo-cadenced song that sounds more squeaky, like a flycatcher. In Oak forest high in canopy. In exact same location two days later. May 24 and 26

Unidentified call or song at Squirrel Gap Rd, Hardy Co WV

In this one you can also hear the alarm call of a red-eyed vireo nearby.

Strange Call Again Squirrel Gap Rd

Owl heard in Grant Co WV along North Mill Creek Rd. I believe it is a fledgling Great Horned Owl.

N Mill Creek Owl (probably Great Horned)

Recording had trouble downloading since my internet connecton is bad; I will add it soon. Single bird calling at about 1:25 in the recording. Three birds from about  3:50 to the end with a truck driving by in the middle of this. Best is at about 4:30 to end. Also in the recording are wb nuthatch and hairy woodpecker. The 3 male birds in the recording were perched in a tree and silently feeding on the dirt road; I could not tell if they were eating gravel, clay or salty clay. They mostly were calling when they were alarmed by the approach and passing of a truck.

On a cool overcast late June day between rain storms at Thorn Run Rd off of Patterson Creek Rd. Bird was also seen. This was my first (and ebird's first) for Grant Co. Rich Bailey says they appear to be expanding their range into WV.

Sorry about the voices and car sounds in there; and also I don't know why the songs and calls got quieter. This is the first time I have heard red crossbill singing. This is a male and female. Male was singing and calling. Female was calling. Male was not very red.
