Blount Co. At my house in Alcoa Sept 15, 2014, yesterday evening, I had 34 species along the creek to the cattail marsh, including a striking Yellow-bellied Flycatcher. Warblers included Blue-winged Warbler 1, Tennessee Warbler 1, Common Yellowthroat 2, Hooded Warbler 1, and Prairie Warbler 1. Sept 16, 2014 This morning everything had changed. Flycatchers included Eastern Wood-Pewee 2, Acadian Flycatcher 1, calling, Willow Flycatcher 1, singing, Least Flycatcher 1 seen at same time as Acadian, but between 3-4' off the ground in ragweed, Eastern Phoebe 2, and Eastern Kingbird 1. The Kingbird was being chased around by a feisty gnatcatcher! Warblers included Northern Waterthrush 3, Tennessee Warbler 1, Common Yellowthroat 4, Hooded Warbler 1, American Redstart 7, Magnolia Warbler 6, and Chestnut-sided Warbler 1. Other notables were Sora 2, first of the fall, responding to my whinnying, and one Warbling Vireo. Total 46 species. It's time to get out birding. Tom Howe Alcoa
