[TN-Bird] Re: Fox Sparrow

Went to the Cove at Concord Park in west Knox County this morning just before 
11 after reading Mike's post from yesterday.  Didn't see any Fox Sparrows but 
did find a western Palm Warbler at that location.  After looking at the 
heronry, while sitting in my car talking on my cell phone I saw at least 10 
Great Blue Herons take to the sky above the heronry.  An immature Bald Eagle 
then flew past and the herons settled back down at their nests.  Jumped out of 
the car but couldn't relocate the eagle.
 
In the Cove I found 5 Horned Grebes (3 in breeding plumage), a few Brown Headed 
Nuthatches, two Ruby Crowned Kinglets, 2 or 3 singing Pine Warblers.  I had 
seen 7 Horned Grebes at the Concord Park boat ramp about 2 miles east of the 
Cove around 10:30.
