Hi folks,
As I stare up from the computer for a moment, I note that the lone
White-crowned Sparrow and several Purple Finches are still hanging
around our Blount County yard. A couple American Goldfinches are
getting spots of bright yellow.
Wednesday morning I heard my first Louisiana Waterthrush of the year
at Tremont (Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Blount County).
Common Grackles and Red-winged Blackbirds seem to be quite common
around southern and eastern Blount County lately. Flocks of Cedar
Waxwings seem to be a bit less easy to come by than they were through
most of the winter, and the flocks I've seen recently seem to be
smaller, too.
Charlie
