Jeff, Please go ahead and post this to TN-Birds. ==================================== A male HOODED ORIOLE has apparently been present near Elora, TN since July 8. The location is in "Vann Town" which appears to be just west of Elora in Lincoln County. The homeowner reported the bird this week to the Alabama RBA and sent several confirming photos this evening. I've posted them to: _http://www.pbase.com/swmavocet/tn_hooded_ (http://www.pbase.com/swmavocet/tn_hooded) The homeowner's name is Eden Powell and she is willing for birders to come and view her special visitor. Her phone is 931-937-0670. She requests a call before you come and please call only between 9 am and 4 pm. Please call her for directions and arrangements. Good luck everyone!
