Tn-birders,
Just a very quick re-cap of this mornings birdwalk on Sharp's Ridge, near
downtown Knoxville, Knox County. Not much was happening on the ridge this
morning. I thought with the incoming rainy weather, we might have a lot of
birds, but in fact it was pretty slow. My wife, Dollyann, managed to get on a
Blackpoll Warbler, but it soon got away and nobody else saw it. Highlights were
as follows:
Cooper's Hawk - we saw one and I think another group had one also. Always a
welcome sight
warblers - only a few Yellow-rumped, Black-throated Greens, and a lone
Black-and-white
Hairy Woodpecker - Dollyann and I had one as we got there about 8 a.m.
Scarlet Tanager - 1 male soon after the walk started, but could not be
re-located
Rose-breasted Grosbeak - quite a few were seen, probably 20+
Chimney Swifts - a few overhead
Blue-headed (2) and Red-eyed Vireos (2)
Ruby-crowned Kinglets (3)
Great birding,
Ron Hoff
Clinton, Tennessee
