["David Stone" <rockyturf@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

    Melissa I was glad you posted about hearing an Eastern Wood Pewee. I 
watched one at close range for several minutes yesterday (Oct. 31) at The 
Honors Golf Course in Ooltewah and wondered if anyone would believe me.
    I guess seeing one this late is not as unusual as I first thought. I looked 
back through some notes I had made from tn-bird posting to see when was the 
latest date anyone had reported seeing an Eastern Wood Pewee in Tennessee. I 
had deleted the post but had made notes. Someone in Wilson County reported one 
on Nov. 2, 2004. Someone else in Knoxville reported seeing one on Dec. 11 also 
in 2004. Still another person posted saying Oct. 28 was recorded as the latest 
date ever sighted in Tennessee. I had seen several here up through Oct. 22 this 
year. Last year they were practically all gone by October 10, in spite of Oct. 
2005 being much warmer that October 2006.

    Otherwise I have not done nearly as much birding this fall as I would have 
liked but I have seen a lot more warblers than I have seen before here at the 
golf course. Listed below are the birds I saw yesterday on the golf course.
