After confirming that the seven GB Heron nests on Keith Cove Rd. west of Cowan were still active this morning, and passing a half-dozen brightly plumaged Savannah Sparrows and a pleasingly full gourd colony of Purple Martins (on Monday I saw only a couple of martins, but several house sparrows and Starlings there) on Water Tank Rd., I checked the area on Arnold Farm Rd. north of the new nursery there and watched a Grasshopper Sparrow sing in suitable, but far too small, habitat. The male Northern Harrier I had seen drinking from a puddle there on Monday was not seen today. This area in part borders the Winchester airport. At the intersection of US hwy 64 and Georgia Crossing Road, (and on the other side of the airport), a Dickcissel was singing. One of the Georgia Crossing Road Shrikes was foraging from the wires and gables of the subdivision 0.4 mi W of Greenhaw Rd. when I passed there at 9:30 and 11:30. Jerry Ingles Sewanee, TN (Franklin Country) It has been my very great fortune to find an incredibly wonderful bird. =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to SIGN YOUR MESSAGE with first and last name, CITY (TOWN) and state abbreviation.
