southwest Henry Co.

I got out for a couple of hours this morning, in-between thunderstorms, and 
birded just north of McKenzie in southwest Henry Co. As expected, there were 
a lot of birds around, including several 1st-of-season (FOS) birds. The 
highlight was a pair of Lark Sparrows at one of there traditional locations 
just north of McKenzie, very near Don Manning's house on Perry School House 
Loop Rd. The male was proclaiming territory from several song perches, so 
hopefully this pair will stay in this area. There is corn coming up here, 
which always seems to be the case with these birds in this area.

Other birds were: 18 species of warblers again (including Chat)

Tennessee FOS (nice influx, 8 birds)
Nashville (FOS) 1
Northern Parula
Yellow Warbler 1
Yellow-rumped Warbler
Yellow-throated Warbler
Pine Warbler
Prairie Warbler
Palm Warbler (3)
Black-and-white Warbler
Prothonotary Warbler
Worm-eating Warbler (bird still on territory in same location as 4/17)
Swainson's Warbler (2 birds singing in different territories)
La. Waterthrush
Kentucky Warbler
Common Yellowthroat
Hooded Warbler
Yellow-breasted Chat (over a dozen seen/heard this morning, compared to one 
on 4/17)

Yellow-billed Cuckoo FOS
Eastern Kingbird
Acadian Flycatcher FOS
Great-crested Flycatcher FOS
Wood Thrush FOS (several)
Lincoln's Sparrow FOS
White-crowned Sparrow (probably as many as I've seen in a day in the 
mid-south, 50 easily)
Rose-breasted Grosbeak FOS
Blue Grosbeak FOS
Indigo Buntings everywhere
Orchard Orioles (10+)

Good Birding!!
