[JGIOCOMO@xxxxxxx]

Yesterday afternoon(3-18-02), after the heavy rains, I was walking along the 
Third Creek Bike trail from the UT campus in Knoxville and a Louisiana 
Waterthrush flew up from the bank of the creek.  It chipped at me and landed in 
a tree about 10 feet in front of me doing it's tail bobbing.  Really nice view.

Today (3-19-02) I was walking to campus on the same trail and I flushed up a 
Northern Cardinal with nesting material.  I spotted the nest, moved back a few 
feet and watched her go to the nest with the small piece of grass.  I also 
found an American Robin builing a nest on the Ag-campus.  Last week I found 
crows building on the main campus.  It must be spring.

PS I did not find the Waterthrush again today.
