[Bristol-Birds] European Starling, Indigo Bunting, Hampton, TN

I'm pleased to report that the FOS European Starlings did not make an 
appearance at my home on Simerly Creek Road in Hampton until Saturday, April 26.

This is a little later than normal. European Starling is strictly a summer 
nesting bird (so far) at my home. They do not stick around for the winter.

Of course, they arrived just in time to be included on the Spring Bird Count by 
the Herndon Chapter of TOS. I am sure four additional starlings will make a big 
difference for?the total of this?bird on the chapter's count.

A more welcome (but still surprising) arrival was the FOS Indigo Bunting, also 
on Saturday, April 26. The surprise? The first arrival was a female Indigo 
Bunting. I cannot recall ever seeing a female Indigo Bunting prior to the 
arrival of some males at my feeders.
