Went out on the deck at 6:30 with lots of birds calling as they passed overhead, fortunately at a much lower altitude than the previous night. For once, there was good variety and not just a deluge of Swainson's Thrushes. Lots of "I don't know"s and "could be"s. After dawn there was good movement as well with 9 warbler species including my first-of-fall Yellow-rumped. At 8:40, a Cooper's Hawk raided the yard making a hit on a Mourning Dove which somehow escaped. That shut things down and allowed me to leave for work. Highlights below, all from our home in west Knox Co on Black Oak Ridge. 43 species for the morning. Nocturnal calls, 6:30-7:20ish Yellow-billed Cuckoo, 2 Veery, 1 Gray-cheeked Thrush, 3+ Swainson's Thrush, 6+ (conservative) HERMIT THRUSH, 20+ first of fall Wood Thrush, 15+ American Robin, at least a couple Scarlet Tanager, 1 Rose-breasted Grosbeak, 10+ BOBOLINK, 1 unIDed, many dozens Daylight birding, 7:20-8:40 Ruby-throated Hummingbird, at least 2 Belted Kingfisher, 1 for 4th time in last 5 days which equals my previous total yard sightings for this species over the last 11 years Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, 1 E Wood-Pewee, at least 1 LEAST FLYCATCHER, 1 silent but seen well including very short primary extension Ruby-crowned Kinglet, 2 Swainson's Thrush, ~5 Wood Thrush, 1 Scarlet Tanager, 1 Summer Tanager, 1 Indigo Bunting, ~5 Warblers: Tennessee, ~5 Nashville, 1 Chestnut-sided, 1 Magnolia, 2 Myrtle Yellow-rumped, 1 first of fall Black-throated Green, 2 Palm, 6+ first of fall Bay-breasted, 4+ Am Redstart, 1 10-15 unIDed flybys Dean Edwards Knoxville, TN =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to SIGN YOUR MESSAGE with first and last name, CITY (TOWN) and state abbreviation.
