[TN-Bird] Songbird ecstasy and the Power-mister

Yesterday afternoon, August 18, I turned on my rain tower sprinkler, 
primarily to rescue my dying lawn and drought-weary shrubs.   In 
one-half hour from about 2:30 to 3:00 p.m.  I observed the following 
songbirds coming to one ten foot shrub outside my kitchen window to 
bath in the leaves.

This is the biggest bird-bathing revel I have ever witnessed in my 
yard.  Last week I saw a female Cerulean at my ground level 
recirculating bird bath.     A middle Tennessee birding counterpart 
to Boneroo perhaps?


1 Prairie Warbler
1 Black-throated Green Warbler
1 Chesnut-sided Warbler
1 Black and White Warbler
1 Cerulean Warbler (male in breeding plumage)

1 Red-eyed Vireo
1 Yellow-throated Vireo

I Scarlet Tanager (Female)

3 Cardinals
