Edgar Evins State Park
DeKalb County, TN
15 June 2006
Maggie Monteverde and I spend the morning at Edgar Evins State Park at Center
Hill Lake this morning. We hiked a fair portion of the Millennium Trail.
We had well over 10 Cerulean Warblers. Two were singing at the Visitor Center
Parking Lot, one along the road to the trailhead, two at the trail head and at
least 7, possibly 8 along the trail as we hiked.
Other birds in considerable numbers were Kentucky Warblers. We encountered 3
separate family grouping with recent fledglings and accompanying adult birds.
We observed a odd bit of bird behavior.... On a branch about five feet off the
ground was a lone immature Kentucky Warbler. We saw another bird fly to the
young Kentucky. I assumed it was an adult about to feed it. But as I got my
binoculars on it I realized it was an adult Worm-eating Warbler which grabbed
the Kentucky's tail with its bill and yanked the bird. It badgered the young
bird until the latter moved and then chased it away.
We also had numerous Wood Thrush all seemingly singing at once in the same
general area.
Other notables seen were:
Great Blue Heron
Hairy Woodpecker
Yellow-throated Warbler
Prothonotary Warbler
Hooded Warbler
American Redstart
Northern Parula
