McKenzie area (Henry Co)
I met Michael Bernard after work this morning for a couple of hours of good
birding around McKenzie. Micheal was particularly after Lark Sparrow and
Swainson's Warbler for his TN list, and both finally cooperated. As noted
previously today, there was a big movement of Indigo Buntings into the area.
We had 10 feeding on the roadside at once, and probably saw 40-50 birds on
the day, with a few females mixed-in. An occasional Blue Grosbeak was mixed
in as well. Palm Warblers were the other abundant birds of the day, with a
minimum of 40 seen on the day. Yellow-rumps were more obvious than I've seen
them of late as well.
Other new arrivals were a singing Magnolia Warbler and a Nashville. We had
singing Swainson's at two of the locations I had them the other day. Michael
got a quick look at one of them, but with Swainson's that's all you can ask
for sometimes! We had looked at a couple of good spots for Larks with no
luck, when we saw one fly across in front of us, but unfortunately it flew
all the way across a big field. Diagnostic, but not very good looks. Just as
the rain hit, we made one last pass through the area I had one a couple of
days ago, and finally got good looks at a pair. That made at least three
Larks in the general area, and I would imagine that there are at leas two
pair in that area. This is just northeast of McKenzie on Macedonia-Routon
Rd.
Good Birding!!
