August 27th and 28th, 2016
Yesterday a KILLDEER was heard passing over my yard, calling, for #271
and my first yard shorebird ever. ( My yard has never had anything
resembling shorebird habitat).
Later in the morning, Alan Troyer and I had a WARBLING VIREO for #272.
This morning a PROTHONOTARY WARBLER was seen foraging with Blue-winged,
Worm-eating, Chestnut-sided and Black-and-white Warblers for yard species
#273 and yard warbler #34. (That doesn't include Lawrence's or Brewster's
Warbler).
A new small pond just over the property line may get the credit for the
Prothonotary showing up here for the first time in over 30 years.
They are regular and common just a half mile down the road along Cane
Creek.
Good birding, Ruben Stoll, Centerville TN.
