[TN-Bird] Tanagers - Knox

I tried sending this last night but another Comcast outage
ended email for the night.

...

We still have a pair each of Scarlet and Summer Tanagers in the
woods behind our house in west Knox County.  I had a Summer Tanager
for 3 days in June 2003.  Other than that, this is the latest for
either species here by 10 days.  Hopefully they really are going
to nest.  I hear them daily and have been able to see them most
days.

Other nesters this year include Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (done and
gone), Red-eyed Vireo, House Wren, Wood Thrush, Eastern Phoebe,
and Great Crested Flycatcher along with the usual chickadees,
titmice, nuthatches, Downy and Red-bellied WPs, mockingbirds,
robins, Blue Jays, starlings, Song and Field Sparrow, House
Finches, Mourning Doves, Chimney Swifts, hummingbirds, etc.

I think the Red-tailed Hawks nested on the other side of
Middlebrook Pike this year.  I've only heard the Barred Owls
about once per week on average.
