Bob Ingle and I birded the Duck River Unit of Tennessee NWR (Humphreys Co) yesterday (April 14) from around 8:00 AM til 1:00 PM. The complete list is below. There is some decent shorebird habitat in the far northeastern part of the unit. If the water continues to recede in those pools (it was notably down from last week), it could go from good to great in the next couple of weeks. Highlights: 10 spp. of shorebird including Stilt Sandpiper, Dunlin, Long-billed Dowitcher, and hundreds of yellowlegs 10 spp. of warbler including a Nashville 3 Eastern Kingbirds Chris Sloan Nashville, TN http://www.chrissloanphotography.com ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Tennessee NWR - Duck River Unit, Humphreys, US-TN Apr 14, 2012 8:00 AM - 1:00 PM Protocol: Traveling 12.0 mile(s) 68 species Canada Goose 16 Wood Duck 8 Gadwall 1 Mallard 5 Blue-winged Teal 394 Northern Shoveler 20 Green-winged Teal 9 Hooded Merganser 30 Double-crested Cormorant 20 Great Blue Heron 50 Great Egret 5 Black Vulture 5 Turkey Vulture 10 Bald Eagle 5 Red-tailed Hawk 1 American Coot 58 Semipalmated Plover 1 Killdeer 15 Solitary Sandpiper 8 Greater Yellowlegs 92 Lesser Yellowlegs 374 Pectoral Sandpiper 42 Dunlin 1 Stilt Sandpiper 1 Long-billed Dowitcher 1 Wilson's Snipe 17 Bonaparte's Gull 1 Ring-billed Gull 6 Caspian Tern 14 Forster's Tern 6 Mourning Dove 9 Red-bellied Woodpecker 3 Downy Woodpecker 1 Eastern Kingbird 3 White-eyed Vireo 1 Yellow-throated Vireo 1 Warbling Vireo 3 Blue Jay 6 American Crow 18 Horned Lark 1 Northern Rough-winged Swallow 1 Purple Martin 2 Tree Swallow 2 Barn Swallow 1 Carolina Chickadee 1 Tufted Titmouse 5 Carolina Wren 9 Blue-gray Gnatcatcher 9 American Robin 1 Northern Mockingbird 1 European Starling 3 Prothonotary Warbler 10 Nashville Warbler 1 Common Yellowthroat 1 Northern Parula 2 Yellow Warbler 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler 1 ' Yellow-throated Warbler 3 Prairie Warbler 3 Eastern Towhee 4 Savannah Sparrow 25 White-throated Sparrow 1 Northern Cardinal 11 Red-winged Blackbird 62 Eastern Meadowlark 5 Common Grackle 8 Brown-headed Cowbird 12 American Goldfinch 2 This report was generated automatically by eBird v3 (http://ebird.org)
