[TN-Bird] Ijam's Nature Center and Forks in the River WMA (Knox Co, TN) 11/18/08, 11/19/08

Much of the usuals at Forks in the River WMA, Knoxville. We saw a
brown thrasher, fox sparrow and both ruby (females) and golden-crowned
kinglets. Also of note were 40 migrating turkey vultures.

At Ijam's Nature Center (http://www.ijams.org/) we nearly had good
pictures of rusty blackbirds. They were feeding low near small wooded
pond along with a flock of robins. Just when they were about to hit a
light patch for a good portrait, alarm calls sounded from all species
in the area and they were gone. The culprit was not my dog or a
blundering birder. It was a sharp-shinned hawk that lit just above the
us.
