Greetings,
On Sunday morning, I had a new yard bird here at my home on the west side of
Morristown in Hamblen County.
While watching several goldfinch riddle the sunflowers ?they? planted under
my feeder, I saw a small black and white bird land in my crepe myrtle just
outside my kitchen window. The little black and white striped bird acted
like a nuthatch and I was able to watch it for a few minutes before it flew
away and I flew to find my bird book. I had decided that I was pretty sure
it was a male black and white warbler, but the little bird must have known
that I?m a novice because he flew back one more time and gave me a chance to
verify my sighting!! Not only was this a new yard bird, it was also a life
bird for me, so you just never know what might show up at home!
My hummingbird population has also increased this weekend from the single
male and female that I?ve been seeing since early spring. I?ve also got
adolescent cardinals and towhees at (and under) my feeders and I have the
second set of house wren nestlings about ready to fledge.
