["Everson, Tracey" <TraceyE@xxxxxxx>]

The highlight of today's birding at Mocassin Bend (Chattanooga, Hamilton
CO)was a Fox Sparrow. Charlie Muise and I also saw two there this past
Friday.  For the most part, though, today was a quiet day at Mocassin Bend.

Apparently the local hawks think that Cedar Waxwings are either very tasty
or easy to catch.  In the past two weeks I've come across two waxwing
hawk-kill remains.

Other birds present today:
Great blue heron (in the "swamp" off the trail)
Canada Geese (overhead)
Mourning Dove
Flicker
Red-Bellied Wo
Am Crow
Blue Jay
Ca Chickadee
Tufted Titmouse
White-Breasted Nuthatch
Carolina Wren
Ruby-Crowned Kinglet
E Bluebird
Am Robin (still hundreds around)
Hermit Thrush
Brown Thrasher
Cedar Waxwing
Yellow-Rump Wa
No Cardinal
Field Sparrow
Song Sparrow
White-Throat Sp

Yesterday I heard a pine warbler singing.  I missed it today.
