J.T. McNeil and I had a wonderful day in the field. We began at Watauga

At the Tri-Cities Airport area (Sullivan County):
On Hamilton Road, less than 0.5 miles past the intersection with Minga Road
(south end of runway); Gravel pull-off on the right (above the runway);
Birds were in the field on the right (across the road from the airport
property).

Horned Lark (6)
Savannah Sparrow (several)
At the airport site (following a few calls) we were joined by Don Holt,
Diane Draper, Rick Knight, Dexter and Linda Newman, Mike Poe, Wallace and
Carolyn Coffey, and Larry McDaniel. Everyone had great looks at the Lark
Sparrow. Others may have come by later, but we had to depart (just about
frozen solid). If so, sorry we missed you.
