This morning (1 Sep) I banded a Lincoln's Sparrow at Carver's Gap on Roan Mtn, in northeast Tenn. This date is 10 days earlier than the previous early fall date for Northeast Tenn. (5 county area) and a week earlier than the early fall date listed in the Annotated Checklist of Birds of Tenn. (Robinson 1990). Also, good numbers of Tenn. & Black-thr. Blue Warblers have been passing thru, with some Cape Mays & Blackburnians, Swainson's Thrushes, etc. A juvenile Hermit Thrush banded a couple of days ago was undoubtedly locally raised. ################### Rick Knight Johnson City, TN rknight@xxxxxxxxxxxxx =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to sign your messages with first and last name, city (town) and state abbreviation. ----------------------------------------------------- To post to this mailing list, simply send email to: tn-bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to: tn-bird-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Topographical Maps located at http://topozone.com/find.asp * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the Tennessee Ornithological Society web site at http://www.tnbirds.org * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TN-Bird Net Owner: Wallace Coffey, Bristol, TN jwcoffey@xxxxxxxxxx (423) 764-3958 =========================================================
