The terrible rains in Nashville this weekend are over. With the sun shining
and a lot of hard work we can begin getting back to normal. 

 

Not normal was my "backyard birding" this morning. In rubber boots, I
circled my house with binoculars and observed an incredible number of birds
flitting about in trees and bushes as well as overhead.

 

Here's a list of what I saw and heard during a one hour period this morning:

 

Number of species:     35
 
Black-crowned Night-Heron     1   (flyover)
Mourning Dove     3
Yellow-billed Cuckoo     1
