Murfree Spring Wetlands
5/10/12
Rutherford Co.

I had four species of warblers this morning, which may be a record for me this 
spring. (Pitiful.)

Yellow Warbler - 2
American Redstart - 2
Magnolia Warbler - 1
Cape May Warbler - 1

I also had a very fleeting glimpse of what looked awfully like a female 
Black-throated Blue Warbler (which would be a really good sighting for the 
county), but it disappeared into some shrubbery and was never seen again.

This is now the second time that I've seen a Eurasian Collared-Dove in the 
exact same location back in the woods. I've never seen more than one bird, but 
I've flushed it out of the same place twice, separated by a couple weeks, and 
its location back in the trees leads me to believe there might be a pair 
breeding back there.
