the 1991 christmas bird count

The Migrant, 63 (1):7-17,1992.
THE 1991CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT
Twenty-seven counts were conducted across Tennessee for the 1991-1992 season
recording a total of 144 species.This is the highest number of counts ever made for
the Christmas Count. The late-lingering birds (i.e., Green-back4 Heron, Merlin,
Spotted Sandpiper,Forsterls Tern, Tree Swallow,Cliff Swallow,Sedge Wren, Gray
Catbird, Palm Warbler, Black-throated BlueWarbler,Yellow-breasted Chat,Grasshopper and Lincoln's Sparrows) were not unexpected considering the generally
mild weather through the fall and early winter, though the variety of species is
notable. Few northern birds, such as Pine Siskin and Evening Grosbeak, were
reported. Vagrant sightings incIude the Eurasian Wigeon and Tundra Swans,
though neither of these species was documented, and the Rufous Hummingbird,
which was banded. Other sightings of note include large numbers of Sandhi11
Cranes at Hiwassee and Eastern Bluebirds at several locations, while the rare
sightings of the Barn Owl continue to beof concern. This year's Rufous Hummingbird and last year's Black-chinned Hummingbird could lead us to reconsider the
annual late-fall storage of our feeders. Sixteen counts experienced rain, while only
four counts had below freezing temperatures. The abbreviation CW stands for
"seen during count week."
