May 3, 2006 Humphreys County TN
Duck River Unit, Tennessee Nat. Wildlife Refuge
Some highlights from a State Parks birding workshop led by John Froeschauer
and Richard Connors in Dickson and Humphreys counties TN:
Bobolink - 80+ mostly males singing and feeding in wildlife plots
Dickcissel - common and vocal
Bald Eagles - two adults and one immature
Osprey - on nest with mate in attendance
Am.White Pelican - 11 in pump station area
Veery - 3 - good views had by all group
Gray-cheeked Thrush
Spotted Sandpiper - 3
Great Blue Heron - 30+ nesting on island heronry
Great Egret - 6 - fly in to island heronry
Little Blue Heron -3 - fly in to island heronry- a tough call for us, some
wanting Snowy Egret, but legs appearing all dark ( no "golden slippers") made
us vote for Little Blue.
18 species of warblers & 92 total species for the day.
