Shady Valley, Johnson Co., TN
Short-eared Owl - 1, flushed from marsh in Quarry Bog
This is the much anticipated first record in Shady Valley.
Also (at Orchard Bog):
Lincoln's Sparrow - 1
Purple Finch - 2 - - male & female-type
If anyone wishes to look for the owl, I would suggest getting
to the site about dusk and scanning over the marsh & fields from
near the gate.
