Sunday was a very pleasant birding day, both at home and hiking with family down to Jack's Rock, below Lilly Bridge. At my Southa-River (south-of-the-river) home, I had a Swainson's thrush along with a Wood thrush up in my woods!! Also 2-3 Common yellowthroats, Indigo bunting, and Red-eyed Vireo. At the Obed (river, rimrock, and an adjoining property): Turkey vulture Am. crow Mourning dove Ruffed grouse on nest w/ 10 eggs Indigo bunting An excellent, almost side-by-side comparison of RE vireo, Philly vireo, and YT vireo songs! Hooded warbler Black-throated green w Prairie w Chestnut-sided w Northern parula (several) YB chat (Other yard birds earlier this month: fm 4/29 to 5/2, I had Yellow-throated vireo, Philly vireo, BH cowbird, a pair of Barred owls, night-calling YB Cuckoos, and Chuck-will's-widows.) Happy spring birds to you, Liz Singley Kingston TN =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to sign your messages with first and last name, city (town) and state abbreviation. ----------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- To post to this mailing list, simply send email to: tn-bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to: tn-bird-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TN-Bird Net is owned by the Tennessee Ornithological Society Neither the society(TOS) nor its moderator(s) endorse the views or opinions expressed by the members of this discussion group.
