[Bristol-Birds] Tree Swallow - Meadowview, Kingsport

I had a nice day birding around Kingsport this morning, picking up a couple of birds that I hadn't seen this year, most notable was a Tree Swallow over the Cattails at Meadowview. I also saw my first (lifer) female E. Towhee paired with a male. Along Riverport Rd. in Kingsport I finally saw my first Hooded Merganser of the year (4female/2male). I also saw five Great Blue Heron on the nests near Netherland Inn, all the birds where standing in their nests but one which was laying in its nest. None of the GBH nests at Ft. Patrick Henry Dam were occupied (either side of the bridge).
