All,
Kyker Bottoms WMA
Blount County
2 hours at midday
Sunny, little wind, about 45 degrees
Today, while birding with Warren Bielenberg, I heard at least 3
different Pine Warblers singing. They were my first of season.
We also had loads of ducks and sparrows, a Loggerhead Shrike, at
least 3 Eastern Phoebes, 2 Bobwhite, a Palm Warbler and an American
Kestrel. 47 species in about 2 hours there, over midday. We also
had at least 3 Tree Swallows
On Sunday Feb 27 I'll be leading a KTOS trip there, and if nothing
drastic changes, it promises to be a great trip.
Here is the list from today:
