Bob Ingle and I spent the day birding Rutherford and S Davidson County.
We ended up with 99 species with a beautiful pair of Scissortail flycatchers
being most noteworthy.
They were seen on a wire fence one mile down Lytle Creek Road from the T
Junction with Dilton-Mankin Road. The road takes a sharp left turn here, and a
paved access road goes straight ahead. The birds were beside the field which
has a cattle feeder with a bright red top. I suspect they will nest in that
general area. This is only one mile from the Bewick's Wren site, a bird which
we also observed today.
Other species of interest:
1 Loggerhead Shrike
1 Eurasian Collared Dove
2 N Bobwhites (very scarce here now)
2 Bank Swallows at Fate Sanders Marina
We looked at mid-day for the Scissortails on Florence Road with no success!
