I apologize for all the posts today. I have been off line and just set up my
computer today after having it serviced. I don't know why many messages were
sent. I am getting duplicates of everything here, too.

Subject: [TN-Bird] Fw: Ash-throated Flycatcher Marion county
While birding at Nickajack today in Marion county, I saw and photographed an
Ash-throated Flycatcher. I took the Hale town exit and drove toward the dam.
On the left side of the hwy. is a small lake which has water flowing into it
from the main body of the river. Just past the lake is a small roadside park
where people usually go to watch the bats which reside in a cave beside the
park. The gate is usually locked to this park. Today it was open so I drove
into the park, turned right and stopped beside a large picnic shelter. Several
Eastern Wood Pewees were in the trees along with other Neotropical migrants.
The Ash-throated Flycatcher was among the birds staying close to the ground as
it perched or fed. I believe it is an immature bird because the tail feathers
are all uneven in length and I did not see a dark tip on the tail which
indicates an adult. It did not vocalize.
