Comments:
The Broad-winged Hawks (SHF, ILC) were migrating S or SW in a flock.
The Warbling Vireo (BHS) provided a new late fall date for the county.
The 5 Red-breasted Nuthatches by BHS were found on the Cumberland Plateau and the 1 by GKE on the Highland Rim sections of the county.
The Ruby-crowned Kinglet (BHS) established new early fall date for the county.
The count of 59 Magnolia Warblers established a new high count for the county.
The Lincoln's Sparrow (BHS) set a new early fall date for the county.
The Blue Grosbeaks (SJS) included a female feeding two fledged young that still had downy feathers in their plumage; Carol Williams obtained a photo (above) of one of the young.
The Bobolinks (SJS) represented a new late fall date for the county (but since superseded).
