On Friday, March 08 I saw the following:
     at Veterans Administration Mountain Home Theater, one sleeping Barn Owl-
     at Winged Deer Park, 16 spp. including Hermit Thrush, Brown Creeper, 
Hairy Woodpecker, Golden-crowned Kinglet, plus one Mourning Cloak-
     at Austin Springs, American Woodcock (2 or 3 calling from 6:50 to 6:55, 
but no aerial displays), also heard many Spring Peepers and Upland Chorus 
Frogs-
     at my home in Carter Co., one Cabbage White

On Saturday, March 09:
     besides the Hermit Thrush reported by Rack Cross, after the hike I saw 
two Ring-necked Ducks on the lake, 1 male, 1 female-

On Sunday, March 10:
     at the pond at the intersection of Kyker Rd. and Leroy Lane near 
Limestone, TN, 5 Tree Swallows-
     at Bowmantown Ruritan, an adult Red-headed Woodpecker-
     at Bowmantown TWRA wetland, overheard faintly overhead to the northwest, 
a Common Raven; and two American Black Ducks seen in Indian Creek.  I stayed 
until dark listening for frogs and American Woodcock, but heard none.-

Today Monday, March 11:
     over Central Elementary School in Carter Co., 6 Tree Swallows (my 
neighbor just put up his Purple Martin gourds last week, looks like the 
swallows found 'em first!)
     several Sulphurs and a sure sign of spring, a mating pair of Cabbage 
Whites!
