I went to Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge (Meigs County) at Birchwood at mid-day
today, primarily to pick up the TOS Visitors List. I was there during what is
usually a very poor time to see very many birds - from 12:05 to 1:05 PM. I was
surprised to identify 18 species during that time, all from the gazebo at HWR.
They were:
* 1 blue grosbeak
* 1 American goldfinch seen and others heard
* Several bluebirds
* 2 red-winged blackbirds seen and others heard
* 1 red-tailed hawk
* 2 Carolina wrens
* 3 wood ducks
* 1 bobwhite quail heard
* American crows heard
* 2 or more turkey vultures
* 1 great blue heron
* 1 immature bald eagle
* 1 house finch
* 1 northern cardinal
* 1 osprey
* 1 eastern kingbird
