SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHER  - 1
Found earlier in the day by Roy Knispel.   I relocated it around 5:45 and Larry 
McDaniel
also saw & photographed  it.  
It was flycatching from the fence along the road just west of the only barn.  
This is the first record for the 5-county area of Northeast Tenn., although
there is at least one record each for Greene & Hawkins Cos.,  west of 
Washington Co.
