Birds of Tennessee

Hello and welcome to my gallery of birds that can be found in Tennessee...many, of which, I photographed in my backyard. Although this site is by no means comprehensive, hopefully it captures the majority of birds that are more commonly encountered.....and I'm always working to add more. I appreciate the overwhelming response to my site and all comments are welcome. As a reminder, all of these images are copyrighted so please don't save or copy without my permission. If you are interested in purchasing one, or more, of my images, I have many of my most popular images for sale as fine art photography prints on my commercial site at http://brucecole.zenfolio.com/

Thank you! These photos are glorious and since I have lived in another state for many years, I'm sure I'll drive my winged guests nuts asking them to "hold still, while I find your picture!" Again, I thank you.

Thank you! the pics are just beautiful...
Deb 19-May-2012 22:14
I have a bird around my house that is just black and white with somewhat of a tuft on his head. He catches flying things, but I cannot find what it is anywhere. Never saw one before either until this one showed up two yrs. ago. Black head,back and top of wings, white underneath. Any ideal what it is. In East Tennessee.
Guest 17-May-2012 14:20
Awesome job, the pictures helped me identify several birds enjoying our bird feeders. Very helpful.
Guest 09-May-2012 08:27
Great pics! They have helped me when I have needed to identify birds...
Rick 08-May-2012 16:30
thanks for the bird pictures with id's, we had a Rose-breasted Grosbeak in our bird feeder and never saw one before. your chart helped me identify it.
Pam 04-May-2012 13:18
Awesome site. Thanks. We just moved to TN from FL. I've started a list of the different birds I've seen with your help.
Guest 30-Apr-2012 13:14
Wonderful pictures! We appreciate your sharing them. We moved from MN five years ago and have loved the different birds. Thank you,
Elaine 26-Apr-2012 13:11
Thanks for the site. I was looking for a specific bird living in my backyard and this site made it easy to find. GREAT site!
marcie 20-Apr-2012 22:11
thank you so much these images have helped me tremendously i enjoy the birds so
much keep up the great work
Guest 20-Apr-2012 19:47
Thank you so much for this website! I had spotted a bird defending it's nest on the ground in the flower beds near where I park at work and was curious as to the name of the bird. I believe it is the Killdeer. She has four beautiful green eggs that are speckled with brown. They are quite large in comparison with her!
Yodagigi 02-Apr-2012 11:07

Well done! You have a keen eye for our freatered friends.
Peggy 13-Mar-2012 16:32
Great pictures. Very informative.
gardener 04-Mar-2012 19:21
Happy to be able to see Tennessee birds. Lovely shots and well framed. Thanks for taking the time to post them. Peter
Guest 17-Feb-2012 23:19
Having tried ( and still trying) to get good bird pics, I know how much time, effort and luck are involved in each of yours. It's so much fun after going out birding to check the identity of the birds using your pictures. Thanks so much for sharing!
Guest 14-Feb-2012 17:26
Repeating many comments here, I too have moved to Eastern TN and have never seen most of these birds before. Thank you for your hard work on this wonderful site!!!

I am an amateur at birding, though I put my homemade bluebird houses out and watch them like a momma. I also have feeders where I can see them, a new landscape with little shelter. I have seen several birds that I couldn't identify..so looked them up here. I have several, maybe 10, Rufus sided- towhees that are at my feeders. i stay busy putting suet feeders and filling the feeders. i love watching the birds while having my morning coffee. Thanks fo rhelping me to identify these beautiful birds.
Guest 09-Dec-2011 16:46
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful pictures. Not only are they beautiful, they sure help with ID'ing birds in TN.
Guest 18-Nov-2011 17:19
i love these pictures i have severl feeders out love birds
Guest 19-Oct-2011 14:58
I've always been interested in birding but didn't really start getting into it until about a year ago. These photo's are an immense help for me to identify the birds around my NE Tennessee home.
Diane 25-Sep-2011 17:02
Just moved to Tn last fall. Love watching all kinds of birds here. Many we haven't seen before it is great. To know some of the names. There are so many different ones that we never saw in Fl. Thanks for all your work.
Linda Gail Fleming 22-Jun-2011 01:25
Gail I love these pictures because they are so natural and beautiful. Born and raised in Tennessee and became a bird watcher three years ago these are the just great.
Villa 27-May-2011 01:03
Thank you for the pictures. I have a swarm of finches in my yard since putting out nyger seed and black sunflower seed. Now I can identify them!
Sherri 26-May-2011 18:01
I have started photographing birds since i have moved to Tenn. from the beach and this site is excellent for indentifying those feathered friends. Thank you
Liz 19-May-2011 19:06
These are some of the best pictures I have seen! I have always had an interest in birds but struggled to identify them. Thanks to your pictures, I have learned the names of most of the birds in my backyard in a single day!
Charlotte 17-May-2011 17:08
thank you so much for the time you have devoted to your site. i have identified the nest and babies in my honeysuckle as that of a brown thrasher. your pictures mad it so simple. you have been added as a favorite site for me.

I wanted to say "Thanks" like many others have already done. We're new to Tn. We have 3 bird feeders in our front yard and we really enjoy watching them feed and "Thanks to You" we know what kind of birds we're feeding. Great Picture quality too! Jon and Jane Wood
Allison 09-May-2011 23:26
Thank you so much for this site! I just started birdwatching and this is so helpful to me.

Susan 22-Apr-2011 18:34
This is a wonderful site with beautiful pictures! Thank you for your time and effort in doing this.
Pamela Parton 24-Mar-2011 18:51
Beautiful album of birds you have here...Awesome shots! V
Stephanie 21-Mar-2011 01:17
Great job! This is by far the most awesome gallery I've seen of our local treasure of Tennessee's feathered friends of the back yard. I really enjoyed your photos, great collection! Thank you, what a joy!
Sandy 13-Mar-2011 19:34
I saw a new species in our backyard; got a good look at it thru my binnoculars. Thanks to this website, I was able to identify it - a Norther Flicker! Gorgeous bird!!! I started bird watching/feeding them about 4 years ago; so far I've identified 30+ species that have visited our backyard. Thank you for the help in learning about TN birds!
Eleanor 13-Mar-2011 15:27
have you ever seen eagles?
Guest 27-Feb-2011 13:30
I am fortunate enough to have most of those bird's outside my window, I enjoy feeding them, one of God's special treats for mankind.
Mary 18-Feb-2011 17:43
Wonderful photos! I wish I had your talent AND patience!
Rick 17-Feb-2011 22:23

Beautiful album of birds...Very nice job! V
Katt 21-Jan-2011 15:06
Amazing pics. Although originally from Cali, we recently moved here from NJ too [seems to be a human migration pattern going on here]. I'd never seen such a splash of color around me in the West or NE. Awesome job on the photos! So helpful.
lazygirl 20-Jan-2011 20:56
We moved here from NJ too! We were big birders in NJ and want to learn the birds of this area. This site has been most helpful for me and my son Joel. Now he knows what is native here. Thank you.
Judith Ezrin 19-Jan-2011 23:01
Amazing photos. It is great to be able to identify the so many different kinds of birds that live in my new yard here in Tennessee. This is the best website and the most informative. Thank You
Frances Phillips 15-Jan-2011 15:03
Thank you for this beautiful gallery of birds. It has been a great help identifying many of the birds I see enjoying my feeders.
Vicki 06-Dec-2010 14:54
Your photos are wonderful! I was searching for the birds at my feeder and I believe they are goldfinches. I'm not all that familiar with birds in Tennessee since I just moved here. It's snowing outside and these birds are flocking to my feeder along with the Junco's. It's wonderful to see birds in winter at the feeder!!!
annamaria 28-Nov-2010 13:10
Thank you so much, these beautiful pictures helped to identify what we have in our area. I love to watch the birds eat from the feeders we have set up. We are very lucky to have such a large variety here in the very top north east of TN. Thank you again for your very beautiful pictures
Ruthann 21-Nov-2010 21:48
Thank you so much ,i found the bird that was in my bird bath this morning.
It was a cedar waxwing , never saw one around here before.

Guest 16-Oct-2010 23:04
that really helps!
REBECCA STEVENS 03-Aug-2010 20:36
Wonderful to see all my friends - thank you so much!
Guest 17-Jul-2010 21:32
We have recently put up a feeder and get a few different birds. There are these medium sized gray birds that will come down on the porch when the smaller sparrows are there and chirp like crazy, shaking their feathers. At first I thought it was trying to scare the other birds away so it could have the food, this is not the case. We see the smaller sparrows actually feeding the bigger birds. Any idea what they might be? We live in East TN. Thanks. I do have a picture of one of them.
Guest 29-May-2010 16:27
Thank you for the pictures, love them. I've wondered what one certain bird/birds are gobbeling up all the bird food so fast ....now I know it is a Common Grackle.
Jackie 27-May-2010 05:26
Absolutely stunning photos!! All these all photographs by you? Good work!
Robyn Bush 23-May-2010 22:59
The last time I have seen a scarlet tanager was about 4 years ago at Eastman park in Kingsport. My husband built a deck yesterday so we were sitting out enjoying it and we saw 2 males waiting for our feeder. We have a huge variety of birds including 4 Pileated woodpeckers that will hang on our kitchen window feeder we can walk right up to them!!!
Guest 16-May-2010 18:38
Great pictures, we have a feeder in Lebanon TN. We see all kinds of birds, most are here.
Good Job. Any suggestions to identify the others?

r smith 15-May-2010 12:26
Thank you! my girlfriend saw a bird yesterday and from her description we looked it up here ... Common Grackle ! she was impressed we found it so fast! nice pics!
Ashlea 11-May-2010 03:17
What an incredible web-site! I've recently relocated to Brentwood from Va. Beach, and my girls and I are constantly astounded at Mother Natures beauty here. What a great reference to use to identify our little winged friends in our own back yard. THANK YOU for the time you put into making this... it is invaluable for nature lovers like us. Beautiful !
Dennis 02-May-2010 16:33
Thank you for taking the time and beautiful pictures. Just moved to Tenn. and love the wildlife...now I have an idea of what I'm seeing. Once again...thanks so much. Stay safe. Topcop

Thank you for this beautiful site. I live in Paris TN and used your site to identify 2 birds just this morning.
andrea 13-Apr-2010 18:20
Your site was helpful today, as we have been observing a nesting pair of eastern bluebirds right outside our camper door...such a soft sweet song they sing! We are first time visitors to eastern Tennessee and it's a lovely place.
Guest 08-Apr-2010 16:39
Thank you so much for this beautiful site. Used it this morning to identify a bird I hadn't seen before! A Towee!
PunkRockerChick1677 20-Mar-2010 03:18

Gwen Cole 18-Feb-2010 17:57
The Rufous-Sided Towhees are really making the rounds. I too just spotted one and had no idea what it was then searched and found your site and easily identified this beautiful bird. Your photographs are beautiful and your site is easy to navigate - it is going on my 'favorites' bar immediately.
Guest 17-Feb-2010 17:32

Beautiful photos! Thank you for helping me to identify the Rufous-sided Towhee in my pasture.
Guest 30-Jan-2010 13:54
Beautiful images! Thanks so much for show-casing the birds of Tennessee!!
Carol Lienhart Hill 22-Jan-2010 05:28
Your amazing gallery of Tennessee birds has been my favorite site over the holidays as you have been of great assistance in identifying the array of birds congregating around my feeders. The thistle seeds attract numerous finches and today a red breasted wood pecker was doing acrobats while eating the wild bird mix. What fun to watch. Thanks for sharing your photographs. Carol
h 17-Jan-2010 15:15
Deer hunting last weekend and saw bird I could not identify; went to your site and found it-Golden-crown Kinglet. Thank you
Janet 11-Jan-2010 17:53
Beautiful pictures-I was trying to identify 3 birds that I saw in my backyard this weekend and found them all right here! Thank you for posting these pictures.
Tim 07-Jan-2010 03:01
Thanks, Bruce - great photography! Makes me want to hunt for the birds I haven't seen here in Chattanooga yet.
Gigi 05-Jan-2010 21:36
Thank you for such beautiful photos also a helpful identification guide. I saw a bird I didn't recognize today and spent an hour surfing for it. Finally found it here! I've booked marked your page for help with the Great Backyard Bird Count in February.
Shira 07-Dec-2009 14:30
Beautiful pics.........and they helped me to name a number of birds on my property. I have a beautiful little 5 acre rolling hills farm in Lascassas TN. It has a creek on the east side of the property that is fed from a fresh spring that comes up out of a cave. I have such magnificient amazing wildlife here. I love it with a passion. It is so nice to know the names of the the lovely little sparrows and warblers that grace my land. Thank you! Many Blessings to you!

Marialyce 28-Nov-2009 17:21
Thank you for your lovely bird photographs. I arrived in Nashville on August 3, 2008 to make this my new home. I was blessed with a teaching position here, but I hail from Maine. My patio is situated by a golf course, and a row of beautiful pine trees serve as a barrier between my place and the course. This makes a great place for birds to live, and I have the pleasure of watching them eat at my bird feeders. There are of course many birds that are new to me here. I looked up Tennessee birds, and I found your site. Today I think I found one of the birds I did not know the name of on your site. It is a Northern Waterthrush. Not sure, but I believe so. I will keep watching your site for more birds. Thank you so much. Yours truly, Marialyce
dave 24-Nov-2009 13:37
thank you for your pics we just moved to mcminnville tn from il we moved to the country and our 5 acres are loaded with birds we did know which birds we had intill i read this site again thank you this site was very helpful
Elaine 05-Sep-2009 08:07
After spending almost 55 years living in central CA, we just moved to middle TN 3 months ago. Your site is awesome and has been a great help to us in identifying the birds that frequent our yard. It is so awesome to see Cardinals, Orioles and other birds that we did not have in CA.
Dee 21-Jul-2009 16:37
It is obvious that they birds are your favorite! I really like the Carolina Wren on the barbed-wire!
forozan 16-Jun-2009 01:55
Thanks for sharing, we have dove in our front porch every spring, we'll enjoy seeing them making nest and seems like they don't care when we check our mail box.
Anne Hamlin 09-Jun-2009 00:16
Thank you for posting your beautiful pictures. They are a big help to me in identifying the birds coming to visit our feeders.
Lesley Scriven 08-Jun-2009 21:00
Beautiful pictures that confirmed that I have been watching two Carolina wrens make a nest, lay 4 eggs, hatched and raised four chicks who flew the nest this morning. Magical nature!
joseph pick 03-Jun-2009 21:53
thank you.very impressive.now when i sit outside i can try to identify some of the birds,while i take notes on there colors etc.
Lisa Tomlinson 29-May-2009 13:38
Thank you for posting such beautiful birds.I came on here so that I could find help identifieing the birds that are outside my bedroom window on their feeder.There are about 6 different breeds,and I think by looking at your site,I have identified atleast 4.I hope!! Again,thank you!
David R. 20-May-2009 05:33
After searching, I findally found the bird, a Scarlet Tanger. There is a pair on my place. Calm and not scared to be around them. That big wood pecker, pileated woodpecker, isn't here. There are a pair here too. Wonderful to watch during mating season, so graceful. I was born and raised in Ohio and know every bird there, teaching my son the birds here, so many more different kinds. Thanks for the pictures. David.
Ann 14-May-2009 15:00
Thank you for posting such beautiful pictures. Every time I see a new bird in my yard I go to your pictures to find out what kind it is.
Denise 13-May-2009 16:08
Wonderful pictures!!!! I was wondering why you don't have a picture of a male & female summer tanager???? I have a pair that have made my yard their home. They are beautiful birds of TN.
Ben 11-May-2009 18:38
These birds are beautiful! Do you have any ideas on how to attract these birds to my yard?
Bill Dixon 08-May-2009 03:53
You have cleared up my qustions about birds Thank you much.
Bill Dixon.
J. Lee 05-May-2009 16:04
One bird I don't see here is the pileated woodpecker -- very big and impressive -- and announces his impending arrival LOUDLY! There's one that frequents my mom's backyard in Cookeville since I hung a suet feeder from a tree branch. :-)
J. Lee 05-May-2009 15:42
Ditto what Nancy from Monterey said -- just saw two on my backyard bird feeder -- had never seen them there before!

J. Lee in Nashville, TN
Nancy 04-May-2009 15:51
What a wonderful site! I love your great bird photos. We went through a "Birds of Tennessee" book lookiing to identify a bird at our feeder in Monterey. No luck. I decided to go online and found your site. There it was - the Rose Breasted Grosbeak! Thank you so much for sharing your gift. We are new to TN and love it and all the wonderful birds.

Enjoy each day,

Nancy

Kim T. 22-Apr-2009 16:32
This is a wonderful and very user friendly site! I had been seeing two Wood Thrush birds in my backyard, and was unable to identify them...until I found this site. I was also able to identify several other birds that I had been seeing! Great Job!
April 05-Apr-2009 15:02
This site is great i recently put out bird feeders at my new house and the kids love to mark down the birds that they see feeding at the feeders....
Guest 03-Apr-2009 14:16
I am so happy to have found you site. Thank you. The photography is outstanding!
Bruce Cole 02-Apr-2009 13:19
The birds are probably cedar waxwings. They will feed on the privet berries. Bruce
Guest 02-Apr-2009 12:48
I have a whole lot of the same type of birds feeding in my privets - but I can't identify them. I thought they were female cardinals, but I don't think so from the pictures. They have a crest, grey bodied, black mask, little tiny tip of red on the wings and yellow stripe across the end of the tail. I don't know much about birds but would like help identifying them.
Arijah 23-Mar-2009 13:06
thank you for your beautiful imagery!
you helped us identify a little guy who has been paying us a visit.

seems we have a little Veery hopping about. :)
Guest 12-Mar-2009 13:46
Great photos! I just moved to Bells in Crockett County in West Tennessee and put a couple feeders out. My goodness at the lovely birds that come every day! It's nice to see others who appreciate simple things in life. Great website, Thanks!
Bob 21-Sep-2008 20:39
I live in Murfreesboro, TN and have numerous feeders. I love this site and the pictures that are posted. We had one rare appearance a couple of weeks ago. A Black Chinned Hummingbird showed up for one day before moving along on its migratory route.
Susan 09-Sep-2008 22:06
Thank you for such a wonderful site! We are new to this area. We come from the north/city and now live south and in the woods! I've just started a little habitat and have enjoyed hours of birdwatching! It's nice to have names to put with our visitors! :)
dodee 17-Aug-2008 22:52
This is an excellent page and I'm certainly glad I found it. It appears that the bird we have been trying to find is a white breasted nuthatch. Well, we found the picture and name; we see the birds all the time. Now I need to find more information on this beautiful creature.
Laura 17-Aug-2008 13:57
what a wonderful site you've created here...thank you for sharing...I live in north Knoxville and am surprised after viewing your site to recognize so may of these same birds here...- the birds! I get homesick for FL or NC at times but the variety of birds here are a great reminder as to what's special about living in E TN and W NC ...again thank you for sharing and helping me ID my feathered friends

Zan 18-Jun-2008 16:57
What beautiful pictures! Quite a number visit my yard. I have a mystery bird I need assistance in identifying. A bit larger than a robin, orange breast, white with brown speckles at feet, no leg feathers, black back/wings, yellow hooked beak but not heavy like most hawks-more slender beak. Does not have a heavy body like most hawks but just bigger than a robin but the approx same build. Does anyone have an idea???
Nitessky 18-May-2008 19:26
Oh loved this site Bruce and I love all the birds!!..great job...but I was wondering, where are the hummingbirds?...keep up the great work!..thanks
David & Sharna Niles 16-May-2008 00:41
Wow! What a wonderful gallery. My husband and I just moved to TN and have numerous types of birds in and around our home. This website is a wonderful way for us to enjoy our new home.
megan 06-May-2008 17:02
these are great! i am using your gallery to help my kids identify the birds that come to our birdfeeder. it's fun to hear my daughter say look mom there's a house finch! :) thanks for the great photos that help us easily identify them!
adamlandry 04-Apr-2008 02:12
Thanks so much for the additional Brown Thrasher pic. Its perfect! I have a pair in my backyard, but wasnt sure if it was the thrasher or thrush. Thanks again.
Matt 14-Mar-2008 00:13
Bruce- your pictures are fantastic. I too am using your photos to help my two girls identify birds in our backyard this spring. We are transplants from FL and all these birds are new and exciting to us. Thanks for your help! Matt..Greeneville, TN
wilson girls 24-Jan-2008 22:23
Thank you for taking the time to create this website. It is very helpful to my toddlers and myself, who have just recently taken up birdwatching in our yard on Dayton Mountian. Your website has made identification easy and most importantly~fun for us. Thanks again.

Hi Bruce, Thanks for the beautiful pictures - we just moved to Sevier County, and have already been able to id some birds from your gallery.

Bruce, thank you for these photos. Native of NJ, I came to East Tn to stay. I've seen so many birds here in Sullivan Co that I've only seen in books as a kid. Thanks for putting the names with the feathers. Your photography is absolutely beautiful! God Bless

Great photos. Came to the site to ID a bright yellow bird seen in our yard in Fayette county. It appears to be a Goldfinch.. Thank you so much. This bird joins mockingbirds, bluebirds, cardinals, and hummingbirds in our yard.

Wonderful site. I recently started feeding birds in Tennessee. This site has really helped me ID them. Thanks.

Nice! Live in Jefferson County now. Have seen the brown Thrasher, Goldfinch & rose-breasted Grosbeak at our feeders in the last couple of weeks! (Besides the usual brown finches, etc. that are always here.)

I have enjoyed visiting your site. I'm new in the area and your site has helped me to identify several birds thus far. Thanks for your efforts!

VERY ENJOYABLE. WE LIVE IN FAYETTE COUNTY (RECENTLY RELOCATED FROM MEMPHIS). WE HAVE SEVERAL FEEDERS AND REALLY ENJOY THE BIRDS. THIS WAS A BIG HELP IN POSSIBLY IDENTIFYING OUR VISITORS.

Excellent gallery. I have a Tennessee bird gallery too. Would love to get a picture of a Rose Breasted Grosbeak. Never see them though. Great work.
