[AHoodedWarbler@xxxxxxx]

A bird walk by the Herndon Chapter of TOS at Tipton-Haynes Historic Site in 
Johnson City on Saturday, March 31, found 31 birds and enjoyed about that many 
participants.
Highlights: Great Blue Herons (flying over prior to the official walk), 
Pileated Woodpecker, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Brown 
Thrasher 
and Eastern Bluebird.

After the walk, chapter members Kim Stroud, Joe McGuinness, Reece Jamerson 
and Bryan Stevens made a birding trip to Austin Springs near Johnson City and 
the South Holston weir dam and Paddlecreek Pond, both near Bristol.

They found a Great Egret at Austin Springs, as well as Savannah and Swamp 
Sparrows. On the way out, they met Rick Knight, who pointed out a perched 
Osprey.

At the weir dam, they enjoyed looks at the Surf Scoter reported by others, 
and also found a Yellow-throated Warbler, having been told by Knight that some 
of these were signing near the weir dam.

Paddlecreek Pond was rather empty, except for the faithful Mute Swan.
