Monday, 20 JUN 2005, I checked the Bobolink field on Charlie Carson Rd. in
Washington Co., TN. The field had just recently been harvested for hay, but
the
two male Bobolinks could be seen on the next fencerow to the west of their
previously preferred fencerow. Also present were four American Kestrels in
close proximity, including some juveniles. The next morning, Tuesday, I
rechecked
and saw one of the male Bobolinks and five Kestrels.
Tuesday, 21 JUN 2005, I found two singing Dickcissels on the short section of
P. Smith Rd. that lies in Greene Co., TN, near the end of Mae McKee Rd. I
may be mistaken but I think this might be a first eastern Greene County record
for this population that has been known for some time in western Washington
Co., TN. This is a very pleasant spot, with other good birds around, including
Northern Bobwhite, Eastern Kingbird, Brown Thrasher, Grasshopper Sparrow, Blue
Grosbeak, and Orchard Oriole.
The next day, Wednesday 22 JUN 2005, I continued further down P. Smith Rd. to
Sandbar Rd. (Greene Co) where I saw many of the same species. I also enjoyed
the spectacle of a male Summer Tanager chasing a Red-headed Woodpecker out of
its tree. Then later in the day at Clyde Austin 4-H Center (Greene Co) I saw
a female Summer Tanager
