Betty Reid has a broken foot and I had a big-toe nail removed so our recent birding has been limited mostly to our deck for several weeks. Today, May 3, 2007, we birded from our deck in Oak Ridge near Melton Hill Lake from 8:45 to 2:15 and saw or heard 51 species. The best ones were: Wood Duck Osprey Red-shouldered Hawk Red-tailed Hawk House Wren WARBLING VIREO- 2nd ever for our yard. Heard it first and then finally saw it Magnolia Warbler Cape May Warbler Northern Waterthrush Scarlet Tanager Rose-breasted Grosbeak Indigo Bunting White-throated Sparrow - probably the last one of the season Orchard Oriole Baltimore Oriole We never had any waves but kept getting individual birds after bird and couldn't quit. We have 145 species in or from our yard in the 14 years we have lived here.
