["Rick Knight" <RKnight@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Today (3 May), while returning home from the TOS Spring Meeting, Wallace Coffey 
and I (not myself) made a swing through western Washington County.  We observed 
a female N. Harrier near Limestone, a rather late date for this species.  Also, 
we saw 2 Dickcissels at the recent "regular" site at the junction of Old St. 
Rt. 34 and Taylor Mill Rd.  Dickcissels have been found at this site for about 
eight straight years now, unusual for northeast Tennessee.  Other birds seen in 
area included Blue Grosbeak, Grasshopper & Savannah Sparrow, Lesser Yellowlegs, 
Least & Solitary Sandpiper, and Wild Turkey.
