TN birders,
Couldn't sleep this am, so was on the road by 5:30am. Headed up Firetower Road
at the foot of White Oak Mtn, and was rewarded by calling chuck-wills-widow and
whip-poor-will, one each. Had the whip on the ascent, and the chuck on the
descent. Also, had another chuck as well as a calling great horned owl at the
top of a gravel drive at the extreme end of Owl Hollow Road near where it
enters Hamilton Co. The driveway is barricaded, but has enough room to pull
off the road safely. Also, had a early calling yellow-throated vireo about
midway on Owl Hollow Rd. Most of the night birds called between 5:55 and 6:15
am EST. None of these were TN year birds, but all four were new for the county
year list.
