Birds of the Blue Ridge

CURRENT Birds of the Blue Ridge

From Hunting to Amicable: Watching Crows

There may never be another corn crop, but the result is a pair of clever and reliable feathered friends in the backyard.

Birds of the Blue Ridge: Sandhill Crane

Early holiday gifts are flying overhead as the Sandhill Cranes return to (and through) the Blue Ridge from points north!

Birds of the Blue Ridge: American Redstart

This sweetly-songed wood warbler is (along with the Black-and-white Warbler) one of the most distinct in the Blue Ridge.

Birds of the Blue Ridge: American Goldfinch

The acrobatic sunshine-yellow males and their olive-yellow female mates that we’ve named American Goldfinches are seasonally some of the last birds to nest in the Blue Ridge.

Birds of the Blue Ridge: Wood Duck

Swift in flight and fleet of foot in the branches, the wood duck can be seen year-round and/or during breeding season across the Blue Ridge and a large swath of North America.
