2005 in Tennessee Come to Tennessee. Your new birding destination ;o) With Townsend's Solitaire, Black-throated Sparrow, Inca Dove, breeding Scissor-tailed Flycatchers and Western Kingbirds, Vermilion Flycatcher, California Gull, Say's Phoebe, Rufous and Broad-tailed Hummingbirds, Pacific and Yellow-billed Loons this year, the TN list is looking like something from far west of the Mississippi River. Should I get me some cowboy boots and 10 gallon Stetson to bird in? With South Polar Skua, Bridled, Sooty and Royal Terns, Band-rumped Storm-Petrel, Black Skimmers, Laughing Gulls galore, Pomarine, Parasitic and Long-tailed Jaeger's, Red-necked Grebe, Little, Iceland, Thayer's, Lesser and Greater Black-backed Gulls plus Magnificent Frigatebirds, this year, I feel like I should at least go to the coast and splash salt water in my face or put a little sand in my shoes and wear a slicker while birding. In reading reports from other states, it seems like it has been a really crazy year all around. Good Birding !!! Land Locked and Loving IT! Jeff R.
