I had a great day of birding at Sycamore Shoals today, despite the rain. It
was drizzling much of the morning, but as long as it wasn't pouring I
stayed out. I had an all-day babysitter, so I wasn't about to let a little
rain spoil my birding.
From about 9:30a-1:30p:
Osprey - 1
Eastern Kingbird - 2
Yellow-rumped Warbler - too numerous and wiggly to count!
Downy Woodpecker - 1
Eastern Towhee
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Blue Jay - 5
Robins
Cardinals
Carolina Chickadees
Brown Thrasher - 2
Mallard
Canada Goose
Spotted Sandpiper - 2
Blue-winged Teal - 5, 3 females, 2 males
Green Heron - 1
Tree Swallows
Chimney Swifts
American Goldfinch
White-throated Sparrow
Field Sparrow - 2
Gray Catbird - 1
Brown-headed Cowbird
House Wren
Carolina Wren
Over by the butterfly garden saw:
Indigo Bunting - 1 male
Palm Warbler -1
Also saw a smallish snake stretched out on a tree. I don't know snakes
enough to identify it, but it was black on top and light underneath. It
just looked at me with raindrops dripping off its chin. Very cool moment.
