Birders:( Ruby-Throated Hummingbird, Great Crested Flycatchers & House Sparrow in Brockland Acres ) Yesterday on June 4, 2006 and today on June 5, 2006 while Shane Adams was walking around the carport and the backyard and watching from the den window towards the birdfeeders in the backyard also birdwatching in Brockland Acres in Hamblen County NorthEast of Morristown. Here is what Shane Adams saw yesterday and today they are: First yesterday: Great Crested Flycatcher chasing a American Robin out of our yard into the backdoor neighbor's yard I am guessing that the Great Crested Flycatchers are nesting nearby maybe in one of my three birdhouses including the owl nesting box after I put it 8 ft. off the ground plus I can bearly touch it with my fingertips,unusual backyard bird House Sparrow eating from the birdfeeder ( I did take a picture of the House Sparrow ), Second today: Ruby-Throated Hummingbird near the carport and the Hummingbird Feeders I did not see the hummingbird drinking from the feeders and I could not tell if it was a Male or a Female it getting to dark when the Ruby-Throated Hummingbird showed up again after the first sighting in April.
