[TN-Bird] Mourning Warbler in Hardin County

Sat. May 17, 2008
Walker Branch State Natural Area, Hardin Co.TN
 
Doing a little birding before the start of a Natural Areas field trip on  
Saturday I first heard and then saw one MOURNING WARBLER. I'm not sure how  
often 
they are seen in west TN (although west TN folks may consider the east  side 
of the river to be middle TN).
 Walker Branch SNA occupies a transition zone section on the east  side of 
the Tennessee River. From tupelo swamp below, up steep  hillsides to a ridge 
topped with some native pine, the bird life represents  those different 
habitats.
 
Checking around the dam at Pickwick Landing two COMMON LOONS were seen  above 
the dam, and NO GULLS were seen either above or below the  dam.  
 
At Big Hill Pond State Park in McNairy County one GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSH was  
seen. And it was good to see good populations of RED-HEADED Woodpeckers at Big  
Hill Pond and Pickwick Landing State Parks.
