I went out for an easy bike ride this morning on the greenways in Smyrna.  I 
had one singing Prothonotary Warbler in the flooded forest at Sharps Springs 
Rec Area.  I also had 30+ gnatcatchers along the route.  

I did a 75 mile bike ride yesterday and had hopes of counting gnatcatchers or 
something.  I lost track after 15 miles or so because I needed to focus on 
riding more, plus the wind was blowing hard which made hearing birds other than 
the numerous Field and Chipping sparrows difficult.  I had a female Northern 
Harrier over a large winter wheat field in Williamson county, which was pretty 
cool as I rarely see them in the area.  Only 1 Prairie Warbler, 2 N. Parulas, 
and one White-eyed Vireo.  I had a road kill adult Coopers Hawk near 840 on Cox 
Rd also in Williamson Co. (it wasn't banded, I checked).

Good birding (by bike),
Scott Somershoe
