An OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER was found this morning (June 1) on Lower Cravens
Terrace below the Cravens House. It was at the top of a dead tree on your
right going north from the Cravens House. It was replaced by several crows
around 10:00AM, but could still be in the area. (KevinCalhoon)
I finally found two YELLOW-CROWNED NIGHTHERONS on May 30 after several weeks
of searching. There were two in the ditch between Olan Mills and Hwy 153.
I spot-lighted them about 10:30PM. (Kevin Calhoon)
A pair of SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHERS are back at the football field (Beene
Field) at the South Pittsburgh High School in South Pittsbrugh in Marion
county. The birds were first discovered by Jerry Ingle on May 27 and I
(Kevin Calhoon) saw them again on May 30. Look on power lines along Railroad
Avenue and anywhere around the athletic field. DeLorme Atlas pg 23 7-D
A WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPER is still present behind Boyd Buchanan School at the
Brainard Levee. It was present along with 3 Semipalmated Sandpipers and 5
Semipalmated Plovers on May 29 and with one Semipalmated Sandpiper on May
31. (Kevin Calhoon)
A late Common Loon was seen in the Tennessee River near the Hwy 60 bridge in
Meigs county on May 22 (Bonnie Johnson) and one was seen out from Coolidge
Park on May 12. (Kevin Calhoon)

county on May 15. (David Traitor)

One of the Peregrine Falcon chicks (on the railroad trestle below
CHickamuaga Dam) made its first flight on May 28 the other chick disappeared
somtime during the last couple of weeks (probably drowned in the river).
