Nineteen participants showed up for the Lookout Mountain Conservancy
fieldtrip walking the Guild Trail on Lookout Mountain on Sunday 4/29.
We heard 15 species of warblers and got a some great looks at a few of
the species. The trestle portion of the tail was a good opportunity to
see warblers at almost eye level. Of course we still all got "warbler
neck". Here are the highlights:
- 10 Cape May warblers
- At least 15 Blackpoll Warblers
- Ovenbird
- 4 Tennessee Warblers
- 4 Nashville Warblers
- 1 American Redstart
- 1 Hooded warbler
- 1 Bay-breasted Warbler
- 2 Blackburnian Warbler
- 2 Palm Warbler
- 6 Yellow-rumped
- Blue Grosbeaks
- Summer Tanager
- Scarlet Tanager
- Rose-breasted Grosbeak
- Yellow-throated Vireo
- 1 Swainson's Thrush
A few of us kicked around the county after the fieldtrip and found a
Black-crowned Night-Heron on Hudson Rd on Moccasin bend (rare SE TN
bird). Also found 3 Dickcissels and around 150 Bobolinks at the
riverport.
