FreeLists / tn-bird / [TN-Bird] 5 minutes of madness

[chris.sloan@xxxxxxxxxxx]

When I stepped out of the house to leave for work this morning, I was 
astonished at the amount of birdsong coming from the trees above the carport.  
It was the most song activity I could ever remember hearing in our (west 
Nashville) yard.  So, I grabbed my bins and stood (in the rain) for about 5 
minutes to see what accounted for all the racket.  In that 5 minutes, here's 
what I recorded, all while standing in the same spot:
Bay-breasted Warbler
Cerulean Warbler (2 for sure, maybe 3; good looks at one male)
Blackpoll Warbler
Magnolia Warbler
Yellow Warbler
Chestnut-sided Warbler
Blackburnian Warbler
Scarlet Tanager
Eastern Phoebe
Carolina Chickadee
Tufted Titmouse
Blue Jay
Chimney Swift
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Great-crested Flycatcher
Eastern Wood-Pewee
Yellow-throated Vireo
Red-eyed Vireo
Downy Woodpecker
Red-bellied Woodpecker
White-breasted Nuthatch
American Goldfinch
Swainson's Thush
American Robin
Indigo Bunting
Northern Cardinal

Too bad I had to take off to make it to a conference call, but not bad for five 
minutes in the rain!
