[Bristol-Birds] Migrants, Hampton, TN

I had a modest but fun day on Saturday, Sept. 11, for migrant-watching at 
home in Hampton, Carter Co., TN. 
I observed Hooded Warbler, Blackburnian Warbler, American Redstart and Common 
Yellowthroat, as well as Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Gray Catbirds, Indigo 
Buntings, Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, Cedar Waxwings, Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, a 
Red-eyed Vireo, a Belted Kingfisher and numerous Common Nighthawks flying 
overhead. Between 6-7:30 p.m., Common Nighthawks were almost always in evidence 
overhead.

I also had a busy little Empid species flycatching in a tree. Somewhat 
unusual was an Eastern Screech-owl calling at about 7 p.m. while the sun still 
shone 
brightly. All the warblers I observed kept busy foraging for insects. The 
Hooded Warbler, in particular, sallied forth numerous times to catch flying 
insects.

Many resident birds â?? Carolina Chickadees, Tufted Titmice, White-breasted 
Nuthatches, Northern Cardinals, Song Sparrows, American Goldfinches, Carolina 
Wrens and Eastern Towhees â?? made appearances at or near the feeders.
