Part of this is the email I tried to send earlier this week.  However, the 
most recent arrivals include a lone Common Nighthawk in flight last evening 
(05/11) over Church Circle in Kingsport.  After arriving home, around 9:00 
p.m., a 
lone Chuck-Will's-Widow was calling from an adjacent pasture and woods.  
The email that I did not successfully send two days ago summarized two short 
hikes on Bays Mountain and birds on our property since May 1.  On Monday ( May 
9) I recorded Bay-breasted Warbler, Louisiana Waterthrush, Acadian Flycatcher 
and Ovenbird along a trail leading up Bays Mountain from the Eastman Picnic 
Area.  The trail has a stream and deep woods.  The area where I saw the 
flycatcher and waterthrush was a cool, moist, shaded grove of large hemlocks.  
On 
Thursday (May 5) I also saw Scarlet Tanager, Kentucky Warbler, and Veery at the 
top of Bays Mountain east of the Visitors' Center.    Recent sightings at our 
home include Rose-breasted Grosbeak (05/06), Purple Martin (05/06), 
White-throated Sparrow (05/06), Gray Catbird (05/07), Swainson's Thrush 
(05/07), Indigo 
Bunting (05/08 and each day since), Yellow-billed Cuckoo (05/09).  Others on 
our property since May 1 include:  Eastern Kingbird, Common Yellowthroat, 
Yellow-rumped Warbler, Chestnut-sided Warbler, Wood Thrush, Great-crested 
Flycatcher, Hooded Warbler, a Broad-winged Hawk that took a squirrel at our 
feeders, 
Eastern Phoebes with young, Brown Thrasher, Wild Turkey, Red-eyed Vireos, 
Ruby-crowned Hummingbirds (male and female), Barn Swallow, Tree Swallow, 
breeding 
Red-bellied Woodpeckers, a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers, Chimney Swifts, 
Blue-gray Gnatcatchers and a pair of Sharp-shinned Hawks. I apologize for the 
late 
reports!    John Moyle   Glen Alpine Road    Kingsport  Sullivan County
