 TN birders,

John Henderson and I got out this am to check on the two reports of 
swallow-tailed kite in Sequatchie and Rhea counties.  Arrived at the spot where 
Clyde Blum first alerted us to it's presence, and one was flying on the left 
side of Kelly Cross Road about 0.5 mi from East Valley Road.  It was 10:10 am 
ET.  Several black vultures were up in the area.

We went straight from there to the Washington Ferry Bridge on Hwy 30 between 
Rhea and Meigs counties, but not sign of the bird, which must have been a 
different bird.  Did have turkey vultures, red-tailed hawk, and a Cooper's hawk 
soaring.  We searched appropriate fields in the area on both sides of the 
bridge without success.

Does anyone remember if we have ever had 2 STKi before simultaneously in 
different sites in the state, as I do not?
