As usual, I had limited time for birding today, but I did manage to get in at
least one hour of quality time at Shelby Bottoms, followed by another 45
minutes or so of getting lost and then rushing back to my car to get back to
Murfreesboro so I could put some exams together.
Anyway, I had four Philadelphia Vireos all foraging in close proximity to each
other. (I believe I've read somewhere that Phillies are generally not prone to
flocking, so I thought this was kind of cool.) Also had a Red-eyed Vireo and
two White-eyed Vireos. Warblers were lacking a bit (besides the ubiquitous
Magnolias), but a Chestnut-sided was a nice find.
And I'm always excited to get my first Swamp Sparrows of the season. I think
they're the most subtly beautiful bird in Tennessee.
Full eBird report is attached.
