[mgreene@xxxxxxxxx]

Jeff Wilson & I had a Swainson's Thrush at Eagle Lake Refuge in Shelby 
County on June 3, 1995 while conducting a Big Day count.  I also remember 
having one singing at Yazoo NWR in Mississippi the first week of June back 
in 1992.  I'm sure that both were probably straggling migrants.
On another note I've still got 3 or 4 Cedar Waxwings hanging around my 
yard.  They seem to be spending the majority of their time in a row of 
Loblolly Pines in my yard.  I watched yesterday as one bird continually 
chased another bird through the trees in the yard.  It was almost acting 
as if it were being territorial.  They were also giving a different 
variation on their call note than the one that I am familiar with.  They 
were paying me no attention whatsoever and on a couple of occasions flew 
within 5 or 6 feet of where I was standing!  I will keep a close eye on 
them just in case they might be getting ready to nest.

Good birding,

I heard a Swainson's thrush singing yesterday morning (June 2) while 
conducting point counts on Fort Campbell (Montgomery county, TN). This is 
a fairly late date for middle TN as Robinson's 'Checklist of the Birds of 
TN' mentions June 3, 1940 as a late date for the Nashville area.
