TN-Birders:
The Big Bald banding station is located in Unicoi Co., TN on the Appalachian
Trail along the Tennessee-North Carolina border just to the north of Mars
Hill, NC and south of Erwin, TN.
I ask all birders to be specific about the locations of their reports every
time they post.
Let's go birding......
