I decided to walk my migration monitoring route at the Cravens House (Hamilton co, TN) yesterday late afternoon (10/22) with low expectations as the sun goes behind Lookout Mountain early during this part of October. I was pleasantly surprised at the activity level and the interesting mix of migrating passerines. The period was from 1710 - 1830. Here is a summary: 1 Sedge Wren (first ever for the Cravens House) 2 House Wren 2 Field Sparrow (only been seen on one other occasion) 5 Swamp Sparrow (uncommon migrant on Lookout) 30 White-throated Sparrow 2 Orange-crowned Warbler 4 Tennessee Warbler 3 Magnolia Warbler 2 Yellow-rumped 2 Common Yellowthroat 1 Black-throated Green 2 Blue-headed Vireo 1 White-eyed Vireo 2 Wood Thrush 1 Swainson's Thrush 1 Hermit Thrush (my first for the season) 15 Indigo Bunting 2 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 3 Golden-crowned Kinglet Kevin Calhoon Chattanooga, TN =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to sign your messages with first and last name, city (town) and state abbreviation. ----------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- To post to this mailing list, simply send email to: tn-bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to: tn-bird-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TN-Bird Net is owned by the Tennessee Ornithological Society Neither the society(TOS) nor its moderator(s) endorse the views or opinions expressed by the members of this discussion group.
