Sunday morning, 16 OCT 2005, at my home in Central Community, Carter Co., TN I enjoyed viewing an ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER while having early coffee on my porch. Later I walked through the yard and glimpsed a WINTER WREN in an overgrown corner. Another reason to put off mowing and weed-whacking. :-) In the afternoon Dianne Draper and I went to Musick's Campground on South Holston Lake in Sullivan Co., TN. Bird spp. observed included the following: GREEN-WINGED TEAL - 4 LESSER SCAUP - 3 COMMON LOON - 1 EARED GREBE - 6 PIED-BILLED GREBE - 6 AMERICAN COOT - 11 This morning, Monday 17 OCT 2005, at Clyde Austin 4-H Center in Greene Co., TN, I saw a DARK-EYED JUNCO. I'm so used to seeing them all year round at higher elevations that it took a moment for it to occur to me that this was the first one I have seen in the valley this fall.
