This morning (Nov 11) I spent a little time birding the usual spots in the
Limestone & Bowmantown area. Along the Kyker Road bottoms I found a small
flock of 8-10 Chipping Sparrows and a large flock of 25-30 Wild Turkeys, in
this flock of Turkeys was one all white bird which could fly with the rest of
the birds when they were spooked by a hunters gunshot off in the distance. I
do not know whether it was an albino or a domesticated Turkey transitioning
back to the wild.
Along Keebler Road I found:
1 Harrier
3 Horned Larks
2 Kestrels
5 Savannah Sparrows
Jerry Bevins called me on my cell phone to report 5-7 Rusty Blackbirds in the
cattails at Meadowview Marsh (which is part of the KBT-Kingsport Birding
Trail). By the time I got there a couple of hours later they were gone.
