Sunday Steve and I took off on an impromptu birding adventure. With cooler packed we set off in the direction of LBL. Knowing most of our "main" haunts would be filled with Memorial Day picnickers we decided to try something different and we birded in and around Northern Stewart County, TN for about 5 hours covering about 22 miles. Below is the list we posted on Ebird. Happy Memorial Day...and good birding.
