29 April 2004 [posted 30 April 2004] I found my first Veery of the year on 29 April in Greeneville. This ties the earliest date I have recorded for its arrival. Generally, I find the first one during the first week of May. The bird was in a suburban area with mature deciduous trees and moderate understory, a place I have regularly found Veeries upon their arrival in the spring. The species nests in the county at higher elevations on Viking Mountain and possibly at other sites.
