["Kevin A. Calhoon" <kac@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I observed 26 Willets out from the outfield fence of the baseball field
behind Boyd Buchanan school from around 7:15 EDT to 8:30 EDT last night
(5/3) at the Brainerd Levee.  The birds were spooked by a nearby soccer game
and flew north around 8:30 and did not return that we (Dan Jacobson and I)
saw.  This is the biggest flock I have seen in Tennessee.  We also had our
first three BANK SWALLOWS of the spring as well as a Northern Waterthrush
and our first Common Nighthawk of the year.  (Jimmy Wilkerson had the first
nighthawk report on 5/2).
