Today, Mar 31, Chris O'Bryan and Wallace Coffey had four (4) BARN SWALLOWS along Tenn. Rt. 91 near the crossroads in Shady Valley, Johnson Co., TN. This is more than a week earlier than the earliest valley date I have of (1) 8 Apr 2001 at Quarry Bog (Coffey, Shumate). On Quarry Road we saw (4) Purple Finch (3 males, 1 female) at a feeder. Let's go birding......
