I haven’t updated sightings in a few weeks due to computer-related issues. For
those who might be keeping state or county sighting records, the following
notable birds were observed. All birds were seen in Birchwood – at my property
(Hamilton County), or on Blythe Ferry Lane, or nearby Blythe Ferry, or from the
Cherokee Removal Memorial Park (Meigs County).
* Golden-winged Warbler – 9-3-2018 – on my property
* Magnolia Warbler – 9-7-2018 – Blythe Ferry (FOY)
* Prothonotary Warbler – 9-13-2018 – Blythe Ferry (I’ve never seen one
there before.)
* Rose-breasted Grosbeak – 9-17-2018 – on my property (FOS)
* Black-throated Green Warbler – 9-18-2018 – Blythe Ferry Lane beside the
CRMP (FOY)
* American White Pelicans – 9-18-2018 – approximately 40 in the Tennessee
River in Rhea County southwest of Hiwassee Island. They were seen from the
CRMP. (last seen in May)
