[TN-Bird] Pellissippi Pond swallows, lesser yellowlegs

Walked around the pond at Pellissippi State Campus in west Knox County 
Sunday afternoon around 4 p.m. fascinated by all the swallows (about 20 at 
any one time) darting over the pond.  They were mostly TREE SWALLOWS but at 
least 2 (maybe 3) PURPLE MARTINS, a BARN SWALLOW and a NORTHERN ROUGH WINGED 
were among them.  As I stood there mesmerized, sorting out all the moving 
targets, a LESSER YELLOWLEGS landed in the grass just a few feet from me and 
stayed a couple minutes before taking flight.  Couldn't relocate it.

One male LESSER SCAUP was on the pond with 18 CANADA GEESE and 10 MUSCOVIES. 
  A flock of 14 KILLDEER were in the area.

An EASTER PHOEBE was seen as well.
