Hi folks,
Well since our son Allan arrived on the 26th, I've not been in the
field much. But I still manage to find some birds here and there..
at our home in south Blount County:
nests found: Brown Thrasher, American Robin, Carolina Chickadee,
House Finch, Blue Jay (good luck to all other nests) Red-bellied
Woodpecker. Bluebirds seem to be teasing us by starting, but not
finishing nests. 3 so far this year. I also think Downy Woodpeckers
have a nest in the yard, but I haven't located it.
Observed: Chuck-Will's Widow, Eastern Screech-owl, Yellow-billed
Cuckoos (3 heard at once), Chimney Swifts,
Foothills Parkway in east Blount County:
all the locally common warblers
Wild Turkey with poults
Northern Rough-winged Swallows nesting under bridge over river
The Greenbelt in Maryville/Alcoa:
Black-crowned Night-heron
Great Blue Heron
Yellow-crowned Night-heron (there again today)
Mallard
Canada Goose
Rock Pigeon
Mourning Dove

Red-eyed Vireo (though I also heard a Yellow-throated, but just once,
and I'm not sure)
