Location: TN, Shelby Farms Amph Walk
Observation date: 11/6/10
Notes: 14 Memphis TOS members and friends participated today on a hike at
Shelby Farms. A bit brisk this morning with frost waking most of us. Lots of
activity in the trees and brush today. Bluejays on every path we took today.
Towhee's concentrated on the bottom land which is bone dry along the one-way
road from Patriot to Pine Lakes. Pine Warblers were a treat seen in the
vicinity of the amphitheater and picnic area across the way with a good size
mixed flock of Junco's, Bluebirds, Cardinals, and Sparrows.<br>Best bird of the
day was the Barred Owl 25 ft away staring at us all with a mouse in it's beak
and getting harassed by three Jays. None of us could get a picture off since we
were so amazed that he was so close.
