Northern Cardinals
Before reporting on my trip to the parkway this morning, I thought you might enjoy a few photos I took late yesterday afternoon. A male Northern Cardinal was feeding a female on the ground next to my back yard bird feeder.

I drove up to the north end of the Blue Ridge Parkway. There were quite a few birds at the Humpback Rocks visitor center, but no warblers there - just lots of Goldfinches and other common birds. The only warbler I saw was a Black & White at the cirque between mile markers 7 and 8. I see this species at this location every year. I ended up with 15 species on the parkway.
