** Proprietary ** The variety of birds on capitol hill continues to amaze me (this is my first spring working in the downtown area). I think that this hill might be like Sharp's Ridge in Knoxville and Shell Mounds on Dauphin Island (the habitat has been reduced to a small area which concentrates the birds). I've only gotten on the hill twice this week but it's been amazing both times (there have been storms passing through bringing lots of birds with the wind). There have been so many birds in the trees that I can't digest them all but adding to the list of migrant birds (in quick 15 minute perusals done early in the morning): Chestnut-sided warblers (several) Blackburnian warblers Tennessee warblers (several) Black poll warblers Magnolia Warbler Wood PeeWee Warbling Vireo Catbird SummerTanager Rose-breasted grosbeak Palm Warblers and Yellow-rumped warblers continue to be the dominant type of warbler. White-throated sparrows are still around & singing. Forgot to include Prairie Warblers on the last list I posted (saw them on April 16).
