[AHoodedWarbler@xxxxxxx]

About 11:30 a.m. on April 6, I found a large mud puddle at the end of a deadend 
road near the BoJangle's Restaurant in Elizabethton. I checked out the puddle 
for shorebirds, but was surprised instead to find three Savannah Sparrows. The 
sparrows were foraging in the disturbed construction area and on clods of dirt 
in the puddle itself. These were some very well-marked birds, and the yellow 
lores were very prominent. They looked like they had stepped right out of a 
field guide. 

A little later, at Tipton-Haynes Historic Site in Johnson City, I heard my 
first Black-and-White Warbler of the spring.
