Tuesday evening around 6 pm as the sun began to think about
going to bed, I checked bird activity along the Harpeth River
in front of my house. To my pleasant surprise I found several
TENNESSEE WARBLERs and COMMON YELLOWTHROATs, feeding on the weed
seeds next to the river. I also saw an E. PHOEBE being chased
by a CAROLINA WREN. However, most surprising was same PRAIRIE WARBLER
that I had seen on Sunday morning. Identification was easy since
it still had NO tailfeathers.
Does anyone have an idea about how much of a problem is posed by
the lack of tail feathers? How successful will its migration
be?
