Hi folks,
Ok, there is little about birds here, but I'll start with what I
have.
We have seen a bit of Mourning Dove love play here, as well. No
copulation or nest building, but lots of the male chasing of females
that some of us were so fortunate enough to see Kenn Kaufmann portray
live in Chattanooga last year (the memory of that STILL cracks me
up!)
At Tremont (Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Blount County) today
we had 3 big First Of Spring observations:
1) Spurred Violet in bloom
2) Trailing Arbutus in bloom
3) male Wood frogs singing and hanging out in the lagoon, awaiting
the arrival (probably tonight) of the ladies. All 3 places were
checked just yesterday, with no such observations, so I am quite
confident they all happened today.
Charlie
