Made a short trip to Phipp's Bend this morning hoping to photograph some birds. Lighting deteriorated to the point where there just wasn't enough for long-lens photography. Did see quite a few species and got a couple of photos before light dissapeared. Here is a partial list: Phipp's Bend, Hawkins County. Sept 6, 2008: Wild Turkey - (22) Great Blue Heron Green Heron Turkey Vulture Red-shouldered Hawk - (1 immature) American Kestrel - (2) Mourning Dove Ruby-throated Hummingbird Eastern Phoebe Eastern Kingbird White-eyed Vireo - (numerous singing) Blue Jay American Crow Tree Swallow - (large mixed flock of swallows on entrance road) Northern Rough-winged Swallow Barn Swallow Carolina Chickadee Carolina Wren Blue-gray Gnatcatcher Eastern Bluebird Brown Thrasher European Starling Chestnut-sided Warbler Magnolia Warbler Prairie Warbler American Redstart Common Yellowthroat Yellow-breasted Chat Eastern Towhee Field Sparrow Song Sparrow Blue Grosbeak Indigo Bunting - (everywhere, 22 in one small patch of grasses) Eastern Meadowlark House Finch American Goldfinch and a photo of a fall plumaged Prairie Warbler Rick Phillips Kingsport, Tennessee
