A good friend of mine was in town from Ohio, so I took him to JBR in
Greeneville for what turned out to be a 50 species day (including birds
seen on the road as entering and leaving the refuge). Some notables:
Sandhill Crane, Great Egret, and FOS Barn Swallows. Checklist below -
turned out to be a great introduction to birds for a non-birder!
