David Thometz and I saw two Palm Warblers, two Savannah Sparrows, two Purple Martins and a noisy Blue-gray Gnatcatcher on the linear trail behind McDonald's in Erwin, Unicoi Co., TN, on Tuesday, April 24. At the pond at Erwin Fishery Park, we saw a Spotted Sandpiper and more Purple Martins. In addtion, at home on Simerly Creek Road, Hampton, Carter. Co., TN, I had my first visit from a Ruby-throated Hummingbird today. Hooded Warblers have been singing frequently in the woodlands around my home since Monday, April 23. Also had a calling Broad-winged Hawk. Bryan Stevens, Hampton, TN ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
