[TN-Bird] Re: A day of "firsts"- Hamblen County

Ginger - Yesterday (Sunday) I also had my first chipping sparrows of the 
winter --  4 of them. They spent all day at the tube feeder (on and under 
it).  My Project Feederwatch record for last year (the first year I 
participated) shows that I had a lone chipping sparrow one weekend in late 
March. I looked this morning, but there were no chipping sparrows.  Of 
course, that doesn't mean they won't show up later in the day when I'm not 
there to see them.
