[Bristol-Birds] Ovenbird (Greene Co., TN)

October 30, 2008

I was surprised and delighted this evening to find a late Ovenbird in Greene 
County.  The bird was present along lower Holly Creek in the Tusculum area 
shortly before dark.

This is a personal late date for this species, eclipsing my previous Greene 
County late date by 15 days and my previous regional late date by 11 days.  I 
have recorded personal late dates for several other species this year, and, 
according to recent list serve postings, other birders have been doing the same 
elsewhere in Tennessee.  Apparently, migration is more protracted than normal 
this year, at least for some of our regular migrants.
