We changed classes and I forgot to include the close encounter part of
my previous messsage. I was removing a TEWA from one of the nets on
Sunday PM and heard a noise. Looked up to see a Black Bear about 20
feet away and coming toward me! I yelled loudly and he ran, as they say
in the mountains, "like a scalded dog," for which I was very thankful!

Subject: [TN-Bird] Big Bald Banding and Close Encounter
Hello TN Birders,
=20
Our banding station is up and running for its 25th season this year and
we are off to a soggy start courtesy of our tropical connections Frances
and (maybe) Ivan. Regardless we have had a good season so far. I think
our best day has been 19 species and 85 birds. Here are a few of the
birds we have banded:
=20
Sharp-shinned Hawk
Black-throated Blue Warbler (most abundant so far)
Tennessee Warbler (of course)
Blackburnian Warbler
Bay-breasted Warbler
Black and White Warbler
Black-throated Green Warbler
Magnolia Warbler
Chestnut-sided Warbler
American Redstart
Worm-eating Warbler
Hooded Warbler
Eastern Phoebe (quite a few this year- there seem to be a lot of insect
hatches going on)
Ruby-throated Hummer (captured but not banded)
Swainson=92s thrush
Veery
Wood Thrush
Red-eyed Vireo
Blue-headed (Solitary) Vireo
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Slate-colored (Dark-eyed) Junco
=20
Kathy Gunther, of Seattle, WA, is running a full blown Hawk
banding/Observation station this year from now until mid October in
conjunction with our normal passerine banding station. Numbers should
be picking up rapidly now for both passerines and hawks. We have seen
other species, most notably Peregrine Falcon, Harrier, Am. Kestrel,
Cooper=92s, Red-tailed, Red-shouldered, and Broad-winged Hawks, many =
other
high flying passerines going over our nets, Bobwhite and Ruffed Grouse.
This list may be complete, but I do not have the data sheets here so
this is all from memory. Come visit if you like. Anyone is welcome.
