[magreene@xxxxxxxx]

The Golden-crowned Sparrow in Covington, TN (Tipton county) was seen by the 
Kunkels at 7:10 am yesterday and it fed in the area of the feeders until 
approximately 7:30 am.  Myself and 4 other birders tried for the bird yesterday 
afternoon.  I arrived at around 3 pm and stayed until about 4:35 pm.  During my 
stay the bird was not seen.  There was a light rain falling but the biggest 
hindrance was a Sharp-shinned Hawk in the area that kept most of the birds 
laying low for a majority of the time I was there.  We did have several 
White-throated Sparrows on the ground feeding one time for a few minutes but 
the Golden-crowned never made an appearance while I was there.  I do not know 
if it was seen after I left.  

Looks like I will have to make another trip!

Good birding,
