[TN-Bird] Acadian Flycatcher in suburbia

31 May 2009
 

While I expect to hear an Acadian Flycatcher in the deeps woods, I was quite
surprised to hear one in my yard this morning three miles from downtown
Nashville.  There are large trees in the neighborhood; however, it is
certainly not where I would expect to encounter this bird on the last day of
May. I didn't even need binoculars to see the bird as it flitted about in a
hackberry tree, even hopping down to shrubs beside the garage. It
disappeared for 20 minutes or so, and now is back again, regularly sounding
off. 

 

Certainly an unusual yard bird for me.
