If any Tennessee birders haven't been down to see the Northern Wheatear, we 
just want to let you know the bird is still there.  We arrived at the site 
where it has been seen about 2:00 p.m. yesterday after leaving Smithville at 
5:00 a.m.  There are dozens of Savannah Sparrows, Palm and Yellow-rumped 
Warblers, and several Northern Harriers around the new subdivision where the 
Wheatear was discovered.  It appeared at the usual time of 4:20 p.m. and was 
still feeding when we left at 5:00.  It is totally unafraid of people and cars 
and let us get terrific pictures up close as it sat on short ground pipes and 
flew down to feed.  It sure is a beauty!
