[TN-Bird] Yuchi Refuge

I had 28 species at Yuchi Refuge in Rhea County this morning. The highlight for 
me was a red-headed woodpecker, since I hadn't seen one in many years. Other 
notable birds were a pileated woodpecker, a prairie warbler, a common 
yellowthroat warbler, several yellow-breasted chats, ospreys, and orchard 
orioles. Someone who knows bird songs better than I do would have had many more 
species, I'm sure.


Yesterday I witnessed two fledgling bald eagles having a "sibling scuffle" on a 
nest in Meigs County.

Occasional visitors from distant states are still signing a visitor list at the 
Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge viewing area in Meigs County. I would attribute this 
largely to the publicity HWR received when the hooded crane was there during 
the past winter.
