Last Saturday (Apr 28) the Cumberland County Spring Bird Count was held.
There were 8-9 observers in 5-6 parties, and we found 128 species. There
were relatively few migrants. Most notable was a flock of 21 Willets resting
on the small beach at the resort motel at Holiday Lake in Crossville (first
county record, Ed LeGrand). The Mute Swan was still at Lake Tansi (found by
Doug Downs). It has been there the past two winters, but was not seen last
spring or summer. It has been seen in flight, and it (presumably the same
bird) was found once at Lake Breckenridge about 2 miles away. Large numbers
of Whip-poor-wills are routinely found in the cutover areas in the
southwestern part of the county along Newton Rd. and side roads.
Occasionally they are seen in the road (as were 3 of the 42 birds heard in 2
hours and 20 miles before dawn). The Chestnut-sided Warblers were all near
or at the top of Hinch Mt., and the Cerulean Warblers were all on nearby
Brady Mt. (Jewett Rd.) and the road up Hinch Mt. (usual breeding locations
for both species) (Steve Stedman).
