Tuesday, October 23, 2012 Tennessee birds

Rudy barely made it home in time for my surgery, flights delayed, missed connections and such. But he pulled it off getting in after 1am. We only had to be at the hospital in 6 hours. Anyway, here's the deal. He was able to see some of the same birds I saw while out in Tennessee so now we get to add them to the list. Here goes: turkey vulture (#159), black vulture (#160), wild turkey (#161), tufted titmouse (#162), Carolina chickadee (#163), northern mockingbird (#164), eastern bluebird (#165), northern cardinal (#166), blue jay (#167), black-throated green warbler (#168), Carolina wren (#169), red-bellied woodpecker (#170) and a white-breasted nuthatch (#171). There were 8 other birds I saw and Rudy didn't and he got to see a barred owl and I didn't but it's fun to finally add some nice birds to our list.

Rudy also saw a beautiful butterfly
