[TN-Bird] assorted Rutherford County birds

Yesterday (Feb 18) in a flooded field on Kimbro Road I saw a large flock of A 
Pipits.  There were a number of ducks and geese present, several Palm 
Warblers were seen and one Least Sandpiper was also noted.  As the water 
recedes, 
this area is frequently good for shorebirds, etc, and can easily be scoped from 
the car. 
On the home front, a small flock of Purple Finches began visiting the feeder 
earlier this week.  Cooper's Hawks have nested in the neighborhood for several 
years.  They have been quite vocal recently, and this morning I saw one bird 
carrying nesting materiel into the woods.  They are most active and easiest to 
see at dawn.
