Eighteen participants found 140 species on the North American Migration
Count held on Saturday May 12. This is quite a mediocre number, but the
spring migration this year was so odd and unpredictable I was pleased
with the results. Highlights included:
- 28 species of warblers including WILSON'S. We did not find a
Northern Waterthrush or Connecticut Warbler even though they were both
observed during the week before.
- 2 Little Blue Herons at Amnicola Marsh
- 1 Yellow-crowned Night Heron in the ditch along Shepard Road
- Least Bitterns at Standifer Gap
- 3 Gadwall at Standifer Gap
- Virginia Rails and Sora at Standifer Gap Marsh
- 9 Forsters Terns out from Chester Frost Park
- 1 Philadelphia Vireo
1 NFL SUPERBOWL WINNING QUARTERBACK
- PAYTON MANNING was sighted playing golf at the Honors Course
in Ooltewah. That must count for something!
Misses:
- Shorebirds were non-existant with only 6 species.
- Blue-headed Vireo
- Grasshopper Sparrow
- Sedge or Marsh Wren
- Nashville Warbler
- Bobolink
I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED ON THIS COUNT!
