4/20/04 Henry Co. I had my 1st of the Year TN Swainson's this morning in a rather unexpected place. While going to get my hair cut, I heard the wonderfully distinct song of a Swainson's from the woods behind her house, just north of McKenzie in Henry Co. This bird sang continuously the whole time I was there. Judging by the habitat, I think this bird is likely just passing through. I was expecting to get one Thursday when we check our regular location north of McKenzie. Good birding!!
