Greene County (mostly Joachime Bible Refuge unit of Lick Creek Bottoms
Wildlife Management Area and vicinity);
Panther Creek State Park (shore of Cherokee Lake in Hamblen County);
southern Washington County (Limestone and South Central)
I spent about four hours birding today at scattered intervals in widely
scattered areas of Greene and two neighboring counties. In addition to
finding good numbers of regular summer residents, I also encountered a
few species that deserve special mention--
Eurasian Collared-Dove (adjacent to West Greene High School, where it
has often been seen before by numerous observers; this is the twelfth
consecutive month in which it has been recorded);
Barred Owl (2 at Panther Creek State Park; the birds were calling back
and forth on a high wooded ridge between the campground and the
overlook; Nicholson's Atlas of the Breeding Birds of Tennessee shows no
info for Hamblen County);
American Redstart (singing male in a stand of white pines at the
intersection of Charlie Carson Road and Thompson Lane in Washington
County; this low-elevation area in farm country along the Nolichuckey
River is not suitable nesting habitat, so I assume that this bird was a
late migrant);
Summer Tanager (a hard-to-find species in northeast Tennessee; I heard 3
singing males at Panther Creek State Park);
Dickcissel (2 singing males at the intersection of Old State Route 34
and Taylor Mill Road in Washington County, and another a few miles away
at the intersection of Corby Bridge Road and Ross Broyles Lane; 1
singing male at the Bible Refuge in Greene County (8th consecutive year
for Dickcissel at this site in summer)).
