[TN-Bird] Nesting Chronology of Tennessee Birds

The "Atlas of the Breeding Birds of Tennessee" contains a listing of the
breeding chronology of Tennessee birds consisting of early and late dates of
observations of nests with eggs, nests with young, and fledglings.  The
records in the Atlas were through the early 1990s; both the list of species
nesting in the state and data on nesting of many species have increased
since then.  
 

I regularly receive questions through the TOS website about the breeding
chronology of Tennessee birds, and several people come to the TOS website in
recent weeks through an internet search on terms such as "nesting season of
Tennessee birds."  In order to make this breeding chronology information
more readily available, I have updated the listing and posted it on the TOS
website at http://www.tnbirds.org/breeding_dates.html.  I hope you find this
interesting and useful.  The updates are from my field notes, records in the
"Migrant" and other published sources, TN-Bird messages, and personal
communications.  I have undoubtedly missed some new early and late date
records.  Daniel Moss is going through the many nest records for grassland
birds at Ft. Campbell to update these species.   If you are aware of other
new early and late dates, please send them to me.  And please continue to
report your nesting observations on TN-birds and send them to the regional
Season editors of the "Migrant."
