I spent a few minutes birding the yard this morning and had the following of note: Chestnut-sided Warbler (#60 for the yard - not bad for six weeks!) Tennessee Warbler Nashville Warbler Blackpoll Warbler Palm Warbler Yellow-rumped Warbler Red-eyed Vireo Swainson's Thrush Scarlet Tanager (#61) Gray-cheeked Thrush (FOS; #62) BTW, RIGHT NOW is the time to be out at Snow Bunting Peninsula on Old Hickory Lake. I've said it many times, and Michael Bierly said it to me many times before that - stormy weather is a great time for birding there (but be safe, of course). Also BTW, anyone checking up there should also check the pier out from Drake's Creek Marina, which always has a good concentration of gulls and terns this time of year. The other day I had 20 Forster's, 5 Caspians, and all three gulls there. I've also had both Franklin's and Laughing Gulls there, and once had both there. Lastly, scope the two big pylons (or whatever they are) just above the dam; lots of Caspians were sitting there on Monday.
