TN-birders, Sharon Bostick, Frank Bills, Dollyann Myers, and I did the Anderson County NAMC today and among other things had the following specialties: 1 - Double-crested Cormorant: finally saw this species on 3 nests in a Great Blue Heron rookery near Bull Run steam plant. This is the first time I have seen this species on a nest in this county, although they have been hanging around Eagle Bend fish hatchery for a couple of years now. 2 - Northern Harrier: saw a brown one flying over the Eagle Bend fish hatchery. This is my personal latest spring date by 3 weeks in the state. 3 - Bank Swallow: 1 seen flying near a quarry not far from Oak Ridge. 4 - Black-throated Blue Warbler: nice male seen at about 3000' up on Vowell Mtn., which is an extension of Cross Mtn. Possible breeder?? 5 - Grasshopper Sparrow: 1 at Eagle Bend hatchery. This is my first record ever at this location. We finished the day with exactly 100 species.
