The Hickory - Priest CBC was held on the traditional date of January 1st.
This year it was a cold, foggy, overcast, drizzly and generally yucky day!
But 18 birders in 5 parties tallied 93 official species, a good-to-average
high number for this count, despite the weather. Highlights included one
Amer. White Pelican seen at Old Hickory Lake and one adult male Rufous
Hummingbird coming to a feeder in Hendersonville; we tallied 16 duck
species, but no unusually high numbers for any, and a few with very low
numbers. The 3 common owl species were detected. One swallow was seen but
no positive identification could be determined. Observers Joe Stone and
Sabin Thompson thought it most likely a N. Rough-winged Swallow. No unusual
sparrows were observed, and despite this being a good year for the northern
irruptives, only a few Purple Finches and Pine Siskins were found. And we
are back to our usual derth of nuthatches on this count; we tried for a
Red-breasted but it was not to be.
