Discovery Center here in Murfreesboro has seen a pretty sparse migration so far. I ran into Steve Zipperer there this morning, and we had a paltry sum of two warblers: Northern Waterthrush and Tennessee Warbler. The last two weeks have yielded a few birds of note: one Wilson's Warbler, one Marsh Wren, and a very cooperative Broad-winged Hawk which sat atop a snag by the walkway and allowed me to shoot pictures at close range for at least five minutes. Then this evening, I went out there for walk and found an Olive-sided Flycatcher on a snag, flying off and returning many times (see awful picture taken with my wife's little camera). Then, on a ride around the southern side of Murfreesboro, I saw some birds across a field that I initially mistook for goats because there were a couple of white ones. On closer inspection, they were a couple of snow-white butterballs (see another awful picture). I've also seen a couple of Ospreys in the last few days flying around the southern side of Murfreesboro, which is not one of their usual haunts. When you don't live in East or West TN, this is what serves for entertainment. Chad SmithMurfreesboro, TN
