Lots of migrants coming through with the front here in west Knox County
Saturday morning (18 Sept).
The hounds got me up at 4AM and I spent about 20 minutes listening to over a
hundred birds calling as they flew over. Mostly Swainson's Thrushes and Veerys
but a good number of Gray-cheeked and 1 or 2 Wood Thrushes as well as several
warbler-type calls.
Early after dawn most of the birds seemed to be continuing south down Black Oak
Ridge. A nice flock passed high overhead around 7:45 AM with several warblers,
a Swainson's Thrush, and 2 DICKCISSELs giving their distinctive call.
Added a new species to my "black gum berry eating" list: Eastern Wood-Pewee. I
have seen Phoebes eating the berries but never pewees until now. A good crop
this year.
Things picked up in the woods around 8:30 AM but I had to leave soon for a vet
appointment at 9.
Still wound up with 39 species including 9 warbler species.

Maybe I can pick up a Magnolia this evening to get to 40 and double digits on
warblers.
