[TN-Bird] Mourning, Connecticut at Ellington, Davidson Co.

5-27-06
Ellington Ag Center
Davidson Co.
Two Oporornis in half an hour!  I birded Ellington this morning and found a 
Mourning Warbler in a dead brush pile right along the trail at the west end of 
the big sparrow field.  I watched in disbelief for 20 minutes as it chipped, 
sang, preened and foraged just 10 feet away on bare branches.  What a look!  
Then at the east end of the big sparrow field I heard a Connecticut Warbler, 
but 
never saw it.  Too much to ask for I guess.  In between those two there was a 
Common Yellowthroat performing a flight/song display over the field, which I 
had never seen before.  Several Indigo Buntings rounded out a beautiful 
morning.  My species list for Ellington now stands at 104 since I started 
birding 
there October 1, 2005.
