To celebrate Easter and spring, we birded William Hastie Natural Area and
Forks of the River WMA in southern Knox County this afternoon between 16:00
- 19:00. Highlights of the day included six warbler species and two
thrushes, all of which were FOS species for us since we haven't gotten out
much.  Wm. Hastie also had an amazing array of wildflowers, despite the mix
of invasives and debris that can also be found at the site. Cope's gray tree
frogs were heard calling at each location. Highlights below.
 

William Hastie Natural Area:

Wood thrush

Veery

Kentucky warbler

Hooded warbler

 

Wildflowers: Blue phlox, yellow trillium, blue-eyed grass, may-apple, smooth
solomon's seal, false solomon's seal, hoary puccoon, wild blue violet, wild
strawberry, fire pink, cross vine, wild ginger, little brown jugs,
bloodroot, toothwort sp., other unidentified species. (Not all listed were
flowering.) 

 

Other: salamander nymphs in stagnant pond, Cope's Gray Tree Frog.

 

Forks of the River WMA:

White-eyed vireo

Wood thrush

Prairie warbler (1 in cedar barrens like we had hoped)

Yellow-breasted chat

Common yellowthroat

 

Good birding,
