The very first bird I observed on New Year's Day 2006 was the endangered
Red-cockaded Woodpecker. Someone on TN-Birds had just mentioned a trip
to Noxubee WMA ( in Mississippi, near Starkville ). To celebrate the new
year, we drove down, poked around in the dark at 5:30am and watched the
woodpeckers wake up. The place was soon buzzing with Red-cockaded
Woodpeckers... which ought to be named the White-cheeked Woodpeckers,
but who am I... Very cool bird.
The complete list of the new year's birds we saw ( ...Golden-crowned
Kinglet,
White-breasted Nuthatch... ) would be out of scope for this Tennessee list.
But it was the mention of the TOS Noxubee trip on TN-Birds that gave us
the idea to go.
