Shelby-Tipton Counties, TN
As you all know, I love bad weather, well, today was not bad but the light
rain did slow a few birds down and made them short stop their travels. The
day started as I scanned the Crow nest over the house and a CAPE May
Warbler fed along in the same clump of pine needles, a bird I missed last year
and the first of a nice collection of wet jewels seen today. Later a wet,
bedraggled Black-billed Cuckoo greeted me with a dull stare at 30 feet and did
not move until I tried to get back to my camera. White-rumped and Stilt
Sandpipers highlighted 2 wet areas in my travels, along with a single
Golden-Plover and 14 other Wind Birds for an excellect count of 17 species for
this late date.
White-winged Doves at 2 sites already, may mean another good season for
them, along with Western Kingbirds and hybrids already nesting.
I've added a few photos of recent birds for those interested, start at:
