The TWRA access area located between Musick's Campground and Painter Creek
Boat Dock at South Holston Lake in Sullivan County has not produced Prairie
Warblers for me in the past three or four years. This early migrant was the
first.
Perhaps habitat succession has caused the site to no longer be active or it
is active and I have missed the birds!
The observation of a single male Prairie Warbler was recorded on Sunday,
April 9, 2006, which preceded the early date documented in Rick Knight's, The
Birds of Northeast Tennessee, An Annotated Checklist, 1994, by four days (April
13).
Rick's book defines Northeast Tennessee as Carter and surrounding counties to
include: Sullivan, Johnson, Washington, and Unicoi. This is the jurisdiction
where many local birders keep year lists. This area is also known by the
"NOTE" area by coupling Rick's definition and bird banding abbreviation style
of
using, at times, the first two letters of each of two words to coin a
standardization of sorts in abbreviations. Thus, the capital letters in the
subject line
of this thread.
