[kings4birds@xxxxxxx]

After reading others' posts I decided to add my yard sightings (just inside 240 
loop, between Poplar and Walnut Grove in Memphis, Shelby CO) to those I've 
read. 
5/2/07:
Rose-breasted Grosbeak  1 female
Indigo Bunting  >15
Palm Warbler (western)  2
Nashville Warbler  heard only (fos seen 4/29)
Tennessee Warbler  bunches (fos 4/27)
Mississippi Kite  2
Red-tailed Hawk  1
Great Blue Heron  1
 
Yesterday, 5/1/07, I saw:
 
Song Sparrow  1
Brown Thrasher  2
Swainson's Thrush  1
Brown Thrasher 
 
Still have Myrtle Yellow-rumped Warblers around, and White-throated Sparrows. 
Haven't seen a Ruby-crowned Kinglet since 4/27. Had one Nashville Warbler on 
4/29 along with a pair of Purple Finches. Seeing Chimney Swifts, White-eyed 
Vireo,  Ruby-throated Hummingbirds and other usual residents. The weirdest 
thing is seeing a Blue Jay eating what was obviosly a freshly killed rat 
yesterday. The jay had it draped over a low azalea branch, just under my 
feeders, tearing it apart. You go, boy!
