Shelby Forest and vicinity, north Shelby Co.
I ventured out this morning, as I saw that the weather was going to be
favorable today -- no rain and not too hot. Birds were still singing fairly
well at Shelby Forest. A Scarlet Tanager was at the beginning of Island 40
road.
Found 12 species of warblers: Parula 12, Yellow-throated (Sycamore) 1;
Cerulean 5; Redstart 9; Prothonotary 4; Worm-eating 1 (on the bike trail from
Picnic #3, where the steep hill drops off); Swainson's 2 (1 near the Nature
Center, the other just past where the Worm-eating was), LA Waterthrush 3; KY 9,
Hooded 5, plus Common Yellowthroat and Chat at Eagle Lake.
I also found a good place to see Cliff Swallows: southbound Warford street
where it crosses the Wolf River, just south of I-240. There was enough
shoulder on the bridge where I could park and watch them easily from the car --
there were a good ten or so birds, with their peach-colored rumps and
foreheads. Virginia Reynolds found large nesting colonies in Memphis last year
and earlier this year farther west on the Wolf.
