This morning local banders, Lizzie and John Deiner, caught Wood Thrushes,
Gray-cheeked Thrushes, Hooded Warbler, White-eyed Vireo, and Ovenbird on
Trust property beside the TN river . Observers enjoyed Velo coffee and
scones from the Farmer's Daughter. (If you like scones, these are the
best.)
The banding station is located on beautiful property in the river gorge. It
is prime nesting habitat for many Neotropical migrants.
After returning home, I turned on the mister and enjoyed watching warblers
and thrushes showering in my yard. Yesterday and today have brought a
variety of migrants. Blackburnians, Black and Whites, Chestnut-sideds,
Hooded, Tennessees, Yellow-throated, Ovenbird, thrushes and tanagers have
soaked in the water. Later, a M. dove came. The dove's behavior was
amusing as it raised one wing at a time, allowing the water to flow beneath
the wings. It reminded me of the Buff-breasted Sandpiper's mating displays.
