FreeLists / tn-bird / [TN-Bird] Cumberland County Spring Count: 140 species on May 3

["LeGrand Family" <elegrand@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On Saturday, May 3, we had 13 participants in 6.5 parties finding 140 
species in Cumberland County. It was very iffy in the morning with high 
winds and distant lightning before dawn, followed by a couple of hours of 
heavy rain at dawn. However, it seemed like the rain kept the birds active 
all day for a really good count. Barbara Stedman had a really good day in 
the northern part of the county around Catoosa WMA, with a Philadelphia 
Vireo, 2 Eurasian Collared Doves (one on Estate Lake Road and one at 
Catoosa), a Swainson's Warbler (just upstream from Adams Bridge on Genesis 
Road), and 2 Henslow's Sparrow (Field 67 on Potter's Ford Road in Catoosa). 
Joseph Mast's party had 10 Henslow's Sparrows at the Mayland area fields 
where he found them a couple of years ago. Stephen Stedman had 7 Cerulean 
Warblers on Hinch Road near the intersection with the road to the top of 
Hinch Mt. We missed Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (one seen at a feeder on May 4 
& 5), Red-breasted Nuthatch (I saw one on Hinch Rd. today [May 6] along with 
10 Cerulean Warblers), and Lesser Scaup (there was a male on Lake Tansi 
today, flushed by a speedboat).
