Hello Bristol and TN Birders,
Spring birding madness continues in Northeast Tennessee. I referred to this
in the subject to my post last week, although I said March Madness, but
spring birding madness is more apropos. What I am referring to the time of
the year when some of both winter and summer birds are in the area. In this
case its spring and migrant birds are getting to "socialize" with many birds
that still haven't departed for their more northerly (or higher elevation)
breeding grounds. The following places are in Carter County, TN :
*Sycamore Shoals State Park* (12-1pm)
*Yellow-crowned Night Heron* (on a branch across from the nest on the
Elizabethton or NE end of the park. It wasn't on the nest, but I have a
feeling it is probably going to use it).
*Northern Pintail - *3 (on the river upstream of the park)
Wood Duck - 2 (flybys)
