On Saturday, May 14, in conjunction with International Migratory Bird Day,
the Lee & Lois Herndon Chapter of TOS hosted a bird walk at Sycamore Shoals
State Park, Elizabethton, Carter Co., TN.
The walk, led by Bryan Stevens, was held from 8-10:30 a.m. Attending were
Yvette Fuller, Jacki Hinshaw, Pat Walls, David Thometz and Brookie and Jean
Potter.
Highlights included male, female and first-year male Orchard Orioles, a male
Baltimore Oriole, two Yellow-billed Cuckoos, Gray Catbird, American Redstart,
Chestnut-sided Warbler, Red-eyed Vireos, White-eyed Vireo and a perched,
calling Eastern Wood-Pewee.
Thanks to a spotting scope provided by the Potters, walk participants enjoyed
fantastic looks at the Eastern Wood-Pewee, a Northern Flicker and some other
birds.
The scope also came in very useful when we visited one of the nests of the
Yellow-crowned Night-Herons. We found a single heron standing vigil on the
nest,
and everyone got great looks through the scope at the bird.
We didn't see a wide range of bird species, but participants enjoyed some
quality observations of some often hard-to-observe birds.
