The Long-tailed Jaeger was still present today from Kentucky Dam's
overlooks. It was about 1/2 mile to the south and spent most of its time on
the
water. It flew several times which allowed for some good diagnostic looks.
Unfortunately it never came closer to the dam while I was there between 10:30
and
Noon.
Thanks to Hap Chambers and Robert Dever for finding the bird on Sunday. Dave
Roemer and Robert were at the overlook when I arrived and immediately got me
on the bird. It's almost cheating to see a life bird that easy-a rare one at
that!
Good luck to those who try to see it-hopefully it will stay a while.
On another note, there are 40+ Common Nighthawks flying above the pedestrian
walking bridge across the Cumberland River at the Titans stadium in downtown
Nashville. The bridge is well lit and the birds look almost white as they
feed above the bridge after dark.
