McKenzie area (Henry and Carroll Co)
I spent a few hours this morning finally getting out to my local route. Still 
some damaged roads and bridges from last years floods, as well as recent damage.

Not a lot of migrant activity, especially with warblers. TN were very vocal, 
but otherwise only singles of Nashville, Cape May, Blackpoll, and Palm. Most of 
the locally breeding warblers were well-represented, including Swainsonâ??s in 
one of my regular locations in extreme NW Carroll Co.

Flycatchers were well represented with a Least, a calling Yellow-bellied, and a 
teed-up Olive-sided.

Other highlights were a good day locally with Lark Sparrows in 3 locations. 2 
of these were in my most reliable locations the last few years, with pairs only 
a few miles apart in extreme SE Henry and NW Carroll Co. I also had a lone bird 
flying out over a corn field just outside of McKenzie in Carroll Co along Hwy 
436. A few Bobolinks in the wheat fields were nice as well. Heard several 
Yellow-billed Cuckoos, a good sign.

Iâ??ve added a few photos from today to my spring 2011 gallery. Most of these 
are marginal, including severely backlit Olive-sided Flycatcher and some fairly 
distant warbler shots (including Swainsonâ??s), as well as a couple of 
different Lark Sparrows and a nice study of Grasshopper Sparrows actually 
feeding close at hand (this not something Iâ??ve seen often, only 15-20 feet 
from the car). Anyway, the first new photo is

Good Birding!
