Due to other commitments, I only had a couple hours on Sunday morning to
participate in the Knox County Spring Count so I stayed around the house to
maximize birding time and limit travel time. Started around 6:45 AM and ended
the day with 48 species with both orioles, both tanagers, and 10 warblers
including 2 dueling Ceruleans and the world's most cooperative Bay-breasted. A
brief return at lunch added a silent Empid, probably a Least Flycatcher based
on apparent short primary projection but not the best view.
Since Wed, I've had 71 species from the yard including 15 warblers. Not bad
for a 1/2-acre suburban lot in west Knoxville.
Notables today, all from home on Black Oak Ridge in west Knox County (FOS means
first of spring for the yard):
E Wood-Pewee, 1
Empid sp., 1 FOS
Ruby-crowned Kinglet, 1, getting late
N Parula, 1 FOS
Yellow Warbler, 1 FOS
Magnolia Warbler, 1
Cape May Warbler, 1
Myrtle Yellow-rumped Warbler, 10
Black-throated Green Warbler, 1
Bay-breasted Warbler, 1 FOS giving great looks all morning including a 10
minute preening session in the open on a dead limb, still singing when we came
back at lunch
Cerulean Warbler, 2 FOS, playing dueling banjos and chasing each other, at
least one still singing at lunch
Black-and-white Warbler, 1, maybe 2
Common Yellowthroat, 1 FOS, uncommon in the yard
Summer Tanager, 3 conservatively
Scarlet Tanager, 3 conservatively
Indigo Bunting, ~10, all flyovers giving the short buzzy flight call
Orchard Oriole, 2 conservatively
Baltimore Oriole, 2 FOS males, both heading NE along the ridge, one stopped
long enough to sing a couple times before flying on, the other was a flyby seen
well and heard giving flight call as it passed just over the trees
