This morning (Friday, March 28) I just saw a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher in a stand of willows at my home in Hampton, TN. It's the first Blue-gray Gnatcatcher of spring and right on schedule. Yesterday, at the pond at Erwin's Fishery Park, I saw about 20 Wood Ducks and a single Hooded Merganser hen. On Wednesday, there had been two hens and a drake Hooded Merganser as well as a swarm of Tree Swallows over the pond.
