[Bristol-Birds] Cliff Swallow using nest in Shady Valley

Today (5/25), Ron Harrington and I found an adult Cliff Swallow using a nest 
under U.S. 421 Hwy. bridge over Beaverdam Creek in Shady Valley, Johnson Co., 
TN.  We also counted a total of seven nests in various stages of construction.  
Still there is only one Cliff Swallow present.  We saw it fly to and from a 
nest and it stayed in the nest cavity for several minutes on at least two or 
more visits. 
We checked carefully for both the Mourning Warbler and Least Flycatcher in the 
vicinity of Orchard Bog along Orchard Road in Shady Valley.  Neither species 
could be located.

Let's go birding.....
