[muise@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello all,

Charlie and I again saw the LINCOLN'S SPARROW below our feeder this morning.  
It's now been here a little over 2 weeks.  We have not seen it every day, but 
many days of late we haven't been home during daylight hours.  Any birders in 
the area are welcome to come take a peak (whether or not we're home).  The 
feeders are in the back of the house--it prefers in front of the carport 
between the two sheds.  Take a seat at the "patio" furniture and wait.  The 
address is 2632 Montvale Rd, Maryville (2.9 miles from US 321, on the left).  
We're also seeing PURPLE FINCH (mostly of the brown variety but a few sub-adult 
males), WHITE-THROATED SPARROW, CHIPPING SPARROW, SONG SPARROW, GOLDFINCH, 
CARDINAL, BLUEBIRD, BLUE JAY, CAROLINA WREN, DOWNY WOODPECKER, WHITE-BREASTED 
NUTHATCH, CAROLINA CHICKADEE, MORNING DOVE, MOCKING BIRD, etc.

Friday and Saturday, Charlie and I went backpacking in the Slickrock Creek 
Wilderness area (Tapoco Trailhead, Calderwood Lake), much of our trip we walked 
along the North Carolina--Tennessee Border (Blount Co). Charlie has the list 
with him right now--he's off on another hike today--so I'm working on memory; 
highlights included: 

a first of spring WOOD THRUSH (flew from one state to the other), 
RAVEN
LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH
BLACK AND WHITE WARBLER, 
BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER, 
BLACK-THROATED GREEN (definitely the most common song we heard), 
BLUE-HEADED VIREO
BROAD-WING HAWK
BELTED KINGFISHER
