[TN-Bird] Wednesday no solitaire

I was out at Seven Islands looking for the Townsend's Solitaire from about 
8:15 'til noon.  It was a changeable day going from cold to downright cold 
depending on the wind.  When I first got to the pond the sun was out and birds 
were everywhere.  100+ robins, 100+ waxwings, 20+ bluebirds, lots of sparrows, 
yellow-rumped warblers, just activity everywhere, especially around the 
pokeberry plants.  Then the clouds came in, the wind picked up, and the 
bunches of robins and waxwings and bluebirds disappeared.

I gave the solitaire plenty of chances to see me, but it did not return the 
favor.

Ron Hoff and DollyAnn Myers were the only other birders I saw.

Highlights:
Sandhill Crane (2) flyover at about 8:15
Bald Eagle (1 adult)
Purple Finch (4)
White-crowned Sparrow (5+)
lots of Field Sparrows
