[Bristol-Birds] sightings and an invitation

Hey bristolbirders and butternuts,
     Best bird find of my day Saturday was a pond at the intersection of 
Hairetown Rd. and Pleasant Valley Rd. in Washington Co, TN.  It held 24 
Gadwall, 2 
Northern Shovelers, and a Blue-winged Teal.  Also on Corby Bridge Rd. near 
Keebler Rd. in the pond behind the missing house were 6 more Blue-winged Teal.  
Turtles were also basking in numbers today.
     I saw toothworts, bloodroot and rue anemone blooming in several places 
today.  Also spicebush.  A flowering plum in a neighbor's yard was full of 
bees, plus a few Eastern Commas and Question Marks.  Whites and yellows are out 
and about.  I looked for Henry's Elfin, but no luck.  The redbud flowerbuds are 
still pretty tight.
     Depending on the weather, I might go to Weavers Bend in Cocke Co. Sunday 
Morning to look for early flowers, birds, and butterflies, before I go to 
Greeneville to meet up with the Greenevillle Bird Club for lunch and a field 
trip 
to western Greene Co.  Anybody interested in joining me can call my cell 
phone 423 914-5862 anytime tonight or in the morning.  I'll probably try to 
leave 
the house around 8 am.  That should give me a couple of hours to look around 
at Weavers Bend.
