TN birders,
On 24Jun, while working on my Bradley Co year list, I targeted the marsh beside
Home Depot and the Cleveland Greenway. Within the first minute after getting
out of the car, heard the familiar fitz-bew call several times coming from the
willows. Tried for some time to see the bird that was calling, but to no avail
that day. On Wed(6Jul), finally got a visual on the bird while walking my
daily 3 miles on the greenway.
To my knowledge, this may be a first county record for the county, but I am
sure someone on the listserv can tell me for sure that more skills in
researching available data.
That bring my year total for Bradley to 139, not too shabby for a county with
essentially no waterfowl or shorebird habitat. Breaks my previous record in
2009 of 127, and am hoping for some fall migrant additions.
