[TN-Bird] Stragglers and Newcomers

March 26, 2003
Memphis, TN

While waiting in a parking lot yesterday at noon, I saw a speck in the sky 
and went to the truck for my field glasses. I relocated that spot and a 
string of others. They were migrating Turkey Vultures extremely high and were 
followed by two Red-tailed Hawks bee-lining for the next thermal. I counted 
21 TV's in line and no telling how many passed before I noticed them.

While scanning around for other movement, I came across dozens of Chimney 
Swifts doing their dipping and diving. It seemed I could not scan anywhere 
that they were not present, but none were visible to the naked eye. My first 
for the season and most welcomed they were!

Good Birding!!!
