Linda Myers and I were pleased to see both the Loggerhead Shrike and the
Scissor-tailed Flycatcher Sunday, 12May13, about 10:30 or 11:00 AM Lytle Creek
Rd area----forgot to look at watch for exact time---also numerous E. Kingbirds
and other summer arrivals plus some warblers ( nothing out of the ordinary)'
We had a delightful conversation with a young ( of course they are ALL young to
me now) man who was very bird knowledgeable---had Gt-Horned and Barred owls on
his farm---said most everyone in that area welcomed "us bird people" coming
and going there.
The Shrike was half-way down Couch Rd on the right side wire. The Flycatcher
was on the way back at an intersection where we blocked a lovely lady's
driveway as it flew over to her property----she also was extremely gracious and
glad we got to see HER Scissor-tail.
This was our 3rd trip to that locale----don't give up!
I still have a few R.B. Grosbeaks at my platform feeder each day. BUT just as
that last circulating storm came through last week, I had a most exciting
panorama----a frenzy of Grosbeaks, one each Red-headed W.P., Indigo Bunting, E
Bluebird,House Wren, Red-bellied W.P., Gray Catbird, Downy, White-breasted
N.H., several Goldlfinch, and the usual residents-----What a spectacular,
colorful sight!
Wallace----forgive me for not following the proper form ( the first listed
sightings were the Lytle Creek Rd area, Rutherford Co. and the last at my home
in Tullahoma, Tn, Coffee Co-----I have slapped my hand, like a "Schoolmarm"
would (there's an old-timey word for you "young-uns") to warn me not to do that
again.
