Monday I played hookey from work to check out the flooding in the Cumberland River drainage and poke around the back roads of a part of the state I seldom visit. I also did a bit of out-the-car-window birding along the way in Jackson, Macon, and Smith counties, and here's my list of species: Double-crested cormorant (immature) Great blue heron Turkey vulture Turkey Am. crow Blue jay Mockingbird Wood thrush Tree swallow Cliff swallow Barn swallow Chimney swift Great crested flycatcher E. kingbird Red-eyed vireo Yellow-throated vireo Warbling vireo Northern parula Yellow warbler Common yellowthroat Yellow-breasted chat Black-throated green warbler Prairie warbler Cerulean warbler Blue-winged warbler Chestnut-sided warbler E. meadowlark Red-wing blackbird Starling Brown-headed cowbird Blackbird sp.
