["Todd, Michael C." <michael.c.todd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oakland, TN (Fayette Co.)
After working all night, I arrived at the home of Danny & Theresa Graham at
about 08:45. Danny had seen the Inca Dove about an hour or so before I
arrived, but over the next 4 hours the bird never came back into the feeding
area. It associates with Mourning Doves, and just before I left 3 Mourning
Doves came into the feeder, but without their little buddy in tow. I talked
to the Grahams briefly tonight, and they never saw the bird again today,
though Danny wasn't specifically looking for it all day long. 

There was a lot of activity in the yard today, with a constant turnover at
the feeding station. Highlights included a few crisp Chipping Sparrows and a
gorgeous Pine Warbler. I never saw it, but there seemed to be a hawk in the
area, which cleared out the feeder several times for a good period of time.
Hopefully the Inca was just laying low today.

Good Birding!!
