Shrikes have, for me, been extremely hard to come by this summer, and I thought myself fortunate to find one this morning just barely in Franklin County, at the corner of Duncantown and Tuck Roads, page 23 in Delorme near B-4. Duncantown Rd. goes east off of TN 127 just north of Morris Ferry Bridge, and "becomes" Tuck Rd. where Tuck goes north to Deans Shop Rd. The early August hordes of Rough-winged Swallows on roadside wires in the area have been replaced by somewhat smaller, yet still impressive, gatherings of Tree Swallows. 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.
