[Bristol-Birds] Nice wave of migrants, Hampton, TN

I experienced a nice wave of migrants Tuesday, Sept. 27, from 6-7 p.m. at 
home in Hampton, Carter Co., TN. I followed the birds as they flew ahead of 
falling shadows, always concentrating in stands of trees still in sunshine.

The first Northern Mockingbird of fall put in appearance, as did several Gray 
Catbirds, a Swainson's Thrush and an Eastern Bluebird.

Warblers included American Redstart, Bay-breasted Warbler, Blackburnian 
Warbler, Cape May Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, Tennessee Warbler and Common 
Yellowthroat.

I also had a Red-eyed Vireo, Cedar Waxwings, Ruby-throated Hummingbirds 
(numbers are thinning), Mourning Dove, Northern Flicker, Pileated Woodpecker 
and 
Common Crow.

Numerous Carolina Chickadees and Tufted Titmice mingled with the migrants. I 
also had White-breasted Nuthatch, Song Sparrow, Eastern Towhee, American 
Goldfinch and Northern Cardinal.
