Learned something today - the Red-eye Vireo scold call attracts many species.
At Chickasaw National Wildlife Refuge today at 2:30, not prime time, I heard a
Red-eye Vireo scolding and did a play back just to see what would happen. To
my sunrise several other species responded - Bay-breasted Warbler, Philadelphia
Vireo, Northern Paula, Black-and-white Warbler, Red-eye Vireo, Eastern Wood
Pewee, Summer Tanager, and Indigo Bunting.
Later I tried it again at Lower Hatchie National Wildlife Refuge and attracted
American Redstart, White-eyed Vireo, Red-eyed Vireo, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher,
Tufted Titmouse, Carolina Chickadee, Blue Jay, Northern Cardinal, and
Red-bellied Woodpecker.
This is a call I will use again.

This morning I noted two or more FOS Palm Warblers from the viewing area at the
Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge at Birchwood (Meigs County). I saw a pair of American
Redstarts
at home in Birchwood (Hamilton County) and a lone female at the Cherokee
Removal Memorial Park (Meigs County). Based upon the call notes, there were
also a few probable Rose-breasted Grosbeaks at the CRMP, but I could
never get a good look at any of them. I also saw a small number of Cedar
Waxwings feeding on wild grapes at home.
