9/25/06 Gibson Co. Ed Davis Fish Farm (Gibson/Carroll Co. line) 5 miles east of Milan on Milan Airport Rd. On the way home from work this morning, I stopped back at the drained pond to see if there had been any turnover from yesterday. The Baird's was still there, as were the Semi Plovers, but the Semi Sandpiper and Lesser Yellowlegs were gone. A Stilt Sandpiper was present this morning, and when I stopped and scanned on the way back out, a juv. American Golden-Plover had shown up. I checked a nice little wooded area on the edge of a wet area, and had the best feeding flock of migrant neotropic passerines that I can remember; the front that passed through really brought some birds with it. I birded about 100 yards of road, and had at least 60-70 warblers in this area, too many birds for me to really go through by myself. The majority were Magnolia, Tennessee, and Northern Parula, but with 9 other species represented as well. At one time, I counted over 20 birds moving in one tree, and often had 3 or 4 warblers in one field of view. I also had all of TN's regular vireos, with the exception of Bell's. Birds of interest are below: Yellow-bellied Flycatcher 1 Marsh Wren 1 Blue-headed Vireo 1 Yellow-throated Vireo 1 Philadelphia Vireo 2 Swainson's Thrush 2 Tennessee Warbler 15+ Nashville Warbler 4 Northern Parula 10+ Chestnut-sided Warbler 2 Magnolia Warbler 15+ Black-throated Green Warbler 1 Yellow-throated Warbler 1 Palm Warbler 1 Black & white Warbler 1 American Redstart 2 Common Yellowthroat 5 Wilson's Warbler 1 Rose-breasted Grosbeak 10+ Good Birding!!
