What a great find!! Alabama has had a spree of first state records and now 3 this season in Tennessee. Congrats to Susan for being persistent. A few years back while traveling down highway 104 in Dyer Co. I had a bird on the side of the highway that I thought was a Sage but I had traffic behind me and when I finally got turned around the bird was gone. I searched the area 2 or 3 times thereafter but no luck. When I researched the occurrence in the South, I found that I had seen the mystery bird on the exact date as the only occurrence for Arkansas, Nov. 24, in 1979. Now a bird shows up in TN on Nov. 8. Birds and birders never cease to amaze. Put a little salt on its tail like Jan has done everyday with the MacGillivray's. Hope I can shake loose before it leaves. Good Birding!!! Jeff R.
