[TN-Bird] Memphis CBC

Dec 14, 2003
Shelby County
    Yesterday was the 76th annual Christmas Bird Count in Memphis.  Weather was 
cloudy and cold, with temperature remaining in the 30's.
    There were 96 species, two of which are new to the count: a Common 
Ground-Dove at President's Island, and an amazing BLUE-WINGED WARBLER at the 
North Treatment Plant (first ever for a Tennessee CBC ?).
    Other notable species found included Greater White-fronted Geese, Mute 
Swan, Blue-winged Teal, 2 Greater Scaups, Bald Eagle, Peregrine Falcon, Lesser 
Yellowlegs, Forster's Terns, House Wrens, Sedge Wren, Orange-crowned Warblers, 
Vesper Sparrows and 2 Purple Finches.
