3-11-07 Ellington Ag Center Davidson Co. I had my first Purple Finch ever for Ellington this morning, singing in the trees right above the iris garden parking lot off Hogan Rd./Marchant Dr. That makes 108 species in 1 1/2 years recording there. There was also a pair of Eastern Phoebes, a pair of American Kestrels, a pair of Red-tailed Hawks nesting on the electrical tower along the Edmondson Pk. field, and a pair of Brown Creepers. Lots of pairing up these days. The Red-winged Blackbirds are back and singing, and the Field Sparrows are also in full song. I also had an American Woodcock displaying from the big sparrow field there on 2/21, and others heard them there last week.
