[TN-Bird] New spring firsts

Yesterday I added 3 new species to the yard list for Spring.  I've had all 
three of these at other spots in the county within the last week or so but 
this is the first time I've detected them in the yard this spring.  A male 
Indigo Bunting fed on dandelion seeds in the yard yesterday afternoon, a 
Common Nighthawk silently flew over yesterday at dusk, and two 
Chuck-Will's-Widows sang into the night dueling with their songs of 
spring.
On a side note a Eurasian Collared-Dove has now taken up residence in my 
yard and can now be seen on a daily basis visiting the feeders and 
bullying the numerous Mourning Doves on the ground underneath the feeders.

Good birding,
