The Honors Course - Ooltewah, Tn - Hamilton County
Saturday October 18, 2008
8:30am - 12:00 noon
This past Saturday morning I was afforded the honor and pleasure of birding
for a few hours with David Stone. Thank you for a great time David!
While David Stone offered apologies for the masses of birds having left with
the previous night's weather front, I could not have been happier. We viewed
42 different bird types in a short 3-1/2 hour time span. The highlight may
have been a Nashville Warbler that flew right over our heads. David believes
this may be the latest sighting at the Honors Course; he was going to check
his records.
Being my first visit to the Honors Course I was very impressed with the
habitat that David and his staff have created for the birds. Several bird
sightings were especially fun for me -
