David Hollie, Dan Jacobson and I did our second annual Hamilton County
big day on Monday, May 5. Weather was great but very warm! We totaled
134 species which was four more than last year. We had 28 species of
warblers which was good, but shorebird species were low and couldnt
find an accipiter, nor could get a Virginia Rail or Sora at Standifer
Gap Marsh so there is certainly room for a larger number. Highlights
included:
Cravens House
Red-breasted Nuthatch (most unexpected bird of day)
Black-throated Blue Warbler
Canada Warbler
Nashville Warbler
Brainerd Levee
Marsh Wren
Bobolinks
Pectoral Sandpiper
Standifer Gap Marsh
Yellow-crowned Night Heron
Swamp Sparrow
Great Horned Owl
Summit Ball fields
White-crowned Sparrow
Grasshopper Sparrow
