Eastern Kingbird, which we have been hearing for months and seeing at a distance for two weeks, finally landed close enough for a decent capture. #birdsofChickamaugaLake Field Sparrow spotted while on a 4 mile walk at Chickamauga Battlefield today. #birdsofChickamauga Immature European Starling. It’s hard to believe it will have white tipped iridescent black feathers, a yellow beak and pink legs when it grows up. #birdsofChickamaugaLake After hearing about sightings of a Green Heron, I caught a glimpse of it from a couple hundred yards last week. Today, it finally came close enough to get some great shots. Such an odd and beautiful bird. #birdsofChickamaugaLake Molting female Northern Cardinal. Seems a bit early, but Spring molts do occur on occasion. #birdsofChickamaugaLake Red-bellied Woodpecker sizing up the suet. It filled up its entire bill and headed off into the trees many times today. Feeding young ones maybe? #birdsofChickamaugaLake Some Common Terns spent some time at the lake today. They fly very, very fast. Hard to get a good shot. #birdsofChickamaugaLake Red-eyed Vireo at the Enterprise South Nature Park in Chattanooga. We could hear them everywhere but very hard to spot. #birdsofChickamaugaLake We’ve all been there. Sometimes you just have to “swallow” your pride. Norther Rough-winged Swallows. #birdsofChickamaugaLake A Red-bellied Woodpecker came over to the bird feeders today. Unusual and exciting event for us. #birdsofChickamaugaLake Brown Thrasher, who had been hiding out in the trees for a few months, decided to show itself today. #birdsofChickamaugaLake Our first Red-winged Blackbird sighting of the year. We’ve been hearing it for a few weeks, but it wouldn’t reveal itself. #birdsofChickamaugaLake Took the boat out yesterday and were treated with some great birds. Here is a shot of a Red Tailed Hawk that flew by us. #BirdsofCkickamaugaLake
