This morning was a great one. As I stepped outside I heard an empidonax flycatcher. I'm not really good at their sounds, so I went looking for it. After much searching, I finally saw an Acadian Flycatcher singing "PIZ-zza" , a lifer for me and yard bird #117. Later on, I had a beautiful adult male Baltimore Oriole, but later on I picked up a few more singing their hearts out. Although I have had many males, as I was walking in our field, I picked up my first female Indigo Bunting. As I approached a clump of Pine trees, I heard a Red-headed Woodpecker, yard bird #118. He acted very territorial, chasing away a pair of Red-bellied Woodpeckers, and drumming allot. As I came back from the field, I checked the Killdeer nest to find 4 eggs. Other birds seen were: Wood Duck, 2 Yellow-breasted Chat, 20+ Yellow-throated Vireo, 1 Wood Thrush, 2+ David Hollie, Ringgold, GA Catoosa County =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to sign your messages with first and last name, city (town) and state abbreviation. ----------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- To post to this mailing list, simply send email to: tn-bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to: tn-bird-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TN-Bird Net is owned by the Tennessee Ornithological Society Neither the society(TOS) nor its moderator(s) endorse the views or opinions expressed by the members of this discussion group.
