Afternoon listers...
On this cloudy, chilly 44 degree afternoon Steve and I decided to make the
rounds around Clarksville and see what early migrants might have arrived or
what there was to see.
Our first stop was the CLARKSVILLE MARINA. There we found 13 LESSER SCAUP, 1
GREAT BLUE HERON, 1 BLACK VULTURE AND a total of 31 TREE SWALLOWS, N.
ROUGH-WINGED AND CLIFF SWALLOWS. They were flying very low over the water,
crisscrossing and moving so fast it was hard to count species individually so
we opted for the total.
Next stop was ROTARY PARK. There we encountered both TURKEY AND BLACK
VULTURES, RED-SHOULDERED AND RED-TAILED HAWKS, RED-BELLIED, DOWNY AND HAIRY
WOODPECKERS, AMERICAN CROWS, CAROLINA CHICKADEES, TUFTED TITMOUSE, CAROLINA
WREN, WINTER WREN, GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETS, AMERICAN ROBINS, NORTHERN
CARDINALS, YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS AND A LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH.
From there is was off to DUNBAR CAVE STATE PARK. The lake there was all but
empty. Only 4 MALLARDS and the usual assortment of "mixed" domestic ducks.
Overhead were TURKEY AND BLACK VULTURES. We also had a BARRED OWL, BLUE JAYS,
CAROLINA CHICKADEES, GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETS, TUFTED TITMOUSE, STARLING,
COWBIRDS, 3 YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS AND 2 NORTHERN CARDINALS.
We will attempt to get out to the same places over the next few weeks to report
and record any new arrivals.
Until then, as always,
Happy Birding!
