[TN-Bird] A phoebe day

Early this morning (Saturday) as I walked out my front door to get the 
newspaper I heard the unmistakable song of an  Eastern Phoebe -- the first 
I've heard one at my home in west Knox County, Tennessee.  A little later I 
heard a mockingbird singing the phoebe's song as part of his extensive 
repetoire.

Best of all, I spent about an hour at the Maryville Greenway (Blount County) 
around lunch time.  While sitting at a picnic bench next to a pink flowering 
tree (crab apple?) whose trunk was full of sapsucker holes, I watched two 
Eastern Phoebes gather nest material from the stream's bank and fly with it 
underneath a small foot bridge where they must be building a nest.
