Hello Bristol Birders =20
This morning (7/20/02) while birding at Steele Creek Park, Bristol, TN I =
recorded 38 species of birds including the following highlights:
Loggerhead Shrike - in the evergreen within the grassland area. Kevin =
Hamed told me this species had not been reported in the park for several =
years.
Yellow Throat Warbler - this was a life bird for me!
American Kestrel - this bird is very rare in the park and also seen near =
the grassland.
Downy Woodpecker - this particular specimen was banded. Seen on suet =
feeder by Nature Center.
Wood Duck - juvenile just off the beach.
Red-eyed Vireo - finally got to SEE one of these in the park!
Indigo Bunting - Singing in the evergreen after the Shrike had left.
Ruby-throated Hummingbird - warding off intruders of the mid-heights of =
the grassland.
Also, on 7/12/02 I saw an American Woodcock in the woods behind the =
hole #1 golf green. The trail was loud with Wood Thrush calls and I =
picked up my first Blue-gray Gnatcatcher in the park on the cart path =
between golf holes #2 and #3.
