A bird walk by the Herndon Chapter of TOS at Tipton-Haynes Historic Site in
Johnson City on Saturday, March 31, found 31 birds and enjoyed about that many
participants.
Highlights: Great Blue Herons (flying over prior to the official walk),
Pileated Woodpecker, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Brown
Thrasher
and Eastern Bluebird.
After the walk, chapter members Kim Stroud, Joe McGuinness, Reece Jamerson
and Bryan Stevens made a birding trip to Austin Springs near Johnson City and
the South Holston weir dam and Paddlecreek Pond, both near Bristol.
They found a Great Egret at Austin Springs, as well as Savannah and Swamp
Sparrows. On the way out, they met Rick Knight, who pointed out a perched
Osprey.
At the weir dam, they enjoyed looks at the Surf Scoter reported by others,
and also found a Yellow-throated Warbler, having been told by Knight that some
of these were signing near the weir dam.
Paddlecreek Pond was rather empty, except for the faithful Mute Swan.
