[tn-bird] Nashville Flycatchers!

Hi everyone,
 
Just getting to know birds in the area after moving here from Boston and took 
my budding birder wife to Mission Hill in Shelby Park on Sunday.  Really 
enjoyed a lot of the regulars, including the chance to contrast and compare all 
three eastern members of the mimic-thrush family in the same bush several 
times.  But the most exciting migrants were the flycatchers--I taught her about 
eyering/no eyering and wing-bars as we enjoyed lots of the little guys.
 
Totals included:
 
2 Eastern Phoebes
3 Eastern Wood-Pewees
2 Least Flycatchers
1 YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER
1 "Traill's" Flycatcher (seemed more like Willow)
 
I was able to do a close study of all of these and more during spring migration 
in New England and enjoyed seeing them further south on the return trip.
 
Good Birding,
