Birders,
    There has been some movement of birds into the southeast Tennessee area 
lately. Friday, March 4, I saw a pair of Eastern Meadow Larks. Years ago before 
so much development in the Ooltewah area, the golf course had them year round. 
For the last several years the only ones I see are migrating through. The March 
4 date is eight days earlier than I have seen them previously.

    This afternoon I saw my first two male Purple Martins of the season. I have 
seen them earlier at this location on three dates within the last 10 years (the 
earliest was Feb. 22, 2005).

    It looks like some Yellow-rumped Warblers are moving north again. After 
hardly seeing any the past few weeks, I saw several today. Other birds I saw of 
interest included: one female Purple Finch and a large flock of Cedar Waxwings. 
All told I saw 31 species in a ride around the golf course late morning and at 
4:00 PM.
