[TN-Bird] Observations, May 15-27, 2005 (northeast TN) (belated post)

May 28, 2005

I have lately been suffering from DHS (Dead Hard drive Syndrome) and 
have been unable to send e-mail conveniently.  (No important bird data 
was lost when the old drive died, and I'm back online and better than 
before with a new computer.)

noteworthy species crossed my path--
