I spent two hours this morning (05/09) at Bays Mountain. At 0800, I was at
the Eastman facility for an hour and the only birds of interest were a
displying tom Turkey and a Louisianna Waterthrush working a stream bank. I
then went
to the Center and walked south of the dam. After a slow start, in spite of
six bus loads of elementary school age kids, I hit a small knot of migrants
including Veery, Blackburnian Warbler, Yellow-rumped Warblers, Black-throated
Blue
Warbler, Black-throated Green Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, Ovenbird and Scarlet
Tanager, and I could hear Ravens calling down-slope. On my return walk to
the Center, I watched a Ruby-crowned Hummingbird collecting seed-fluff from an
old cattail. By the Center, before leaving, I had a pair of Blue-gray
Gnatcatchers and a singing Rose-breasted Grosbeak. Later in the day at home,
I had a
beautiful male Rose-breasted Grosbeak feeding at my sunflower-seed feeder for
5 to 10 minutes. John Moyle Glen Alpine Road Kingsport Sullivan County
