17 Dec 2005 Elizabethton CBC Carter Co. Surprised with the low numbers of some species in my area (airport, etc. = Area 5): Downy Woodpecker 1, Mourning Dove 2, Dark-eyed Junco 6, Eastern Towhee 1. No American Robins. Best bird was a PURPLE FINCH feeding on grit in roadway not far from airport. Other pleasing birds: Gadwall 2, American Wigeon 1, Bufflehead 2 on river (but no surprise), Pied-billed Grebe 2, Wilson's Snipe 1, Ruby-crowned Kinglet (1- usually difficult for me on this count), Eastern Screech-Owl 1. Nice flow of Yellow-rumped Warblers (44) all day. Glad to get Cedar Waxwing and single flock of Eastern Meadowlarks (16). Even thankful for small flock of House Sparrows (6). Seemed like bird movement slow. Few waterfowl on wing. Decent species tally (46), considering conditions. Let's go to Glade Spring.....
