["Jack Litz" <wjlitz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There was a lot of activity this morning at Devil's Looking Glass, a rock face 
beside the Nolichucky River near Erwin, Tennessee.  Two Common Ravens were seen 
flying near and landing on the face.  A Raven's nest was also seen. The nest 
appeared to be in good shape with apparently fresh whitewash beside and below 
it.  There was no activity, however, that would directly associate those birds 
with that nest.  Nesting Canada Geese were seen high up on the face, and many 
Northern Rough-winged Swallows were exploring long horizontal crevices that 
were protected by overhangs. 

An Osprey was seen in a tree across I-181 from the Linear Park at Erwin.

Several pairs of Wood Ducks were swimming with their young at the Fish Hatchery 
Park at Erwin.
