[bristol-birds] Yellow Warblers

["Mayhorn" <mayhorn@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

TN Birders,
Each year I have at least one pair, sometimes two, Yellow Warblers nesting
around my house. This morning I was doing yard work when I heard their song.
Within minutes a male and a female were in the Gooseberry bush. The male was
so bright he almost glowed in the sunlight. The birds were late this year.
Last year they were here by the 8th.
Shortly after that I heard the first White-eyed Vireo singing his "chek er
weir chek" from the nearby woods.
With the Yellow Warblers singing from the apple tree, the White-eyed Vireo
singing in the woods, the Brown Thrasher singing from his perch, and the
Chipping Sparrows having combat over a female, it sure made my yard work
more pleasant.
