I was delighted to spot a female Yellow Warbler in a Rose-of-Sharon bush outside my kitchen window this morning as I was getting ready for work. I often suffer from yard-envy when reading the posts TN-Birds, so I'm happy to be able to add a new yard bird to my list! In fact, I wouldn't have expected a Yellow Warbler here, either, but I'm happy to have her! I continue to be visited by at least one adult male Orchard Oriole, one very vocal 1st-year male, and one female. Other notable guests include a Gray Catbird (heard, not seen) and Indigo Bunting. Carolina Wrens have fledged, as have the starlings (alas!). It looks like the bluebirds should be leaving the nest any day now. While attending the TACA art show at Centennial Park in Nashville on Saturday (May 3), I saw (actually heard, then saw) my first-of-season Common Nighthawk. Good stuff!
