Chad,
 
Big congrats to the newest member of the TN 300 club! That was a quality bird 
to hit 300 with as well!
 
Good Birding!!

Marion Co. -
The Ash-throated Flycatcher was present this afternoon in the trees near the 
picnic shelter at Maple View Park (Nickajack Cave WMA).  It mostly stayed low 
in the branches between the right side of the shelter and the entrance to the 
park.  After a while, it flew to the taller tree on the left side of the 
shelter.
 
Hamilton Co. -
On to the next spot, where two White-faced Ibises were feeding along the edge 
of the pond at 7100 Discovery Dr.  This bird and the flycatcher were both 
redemption birds for those I missed earlier this year.  The ibis was bird #300 
for me in the state of TN.
 
The 300 mark was something I'd wanted to achieve for quite some time.  It took 
four-and-a-half years, and a lot of hours spent looking and chasing things when 
I could.  Of course, there was a lot of help from you TN-birders, and many of 
the guys I've been out in the field with, especially Terry Witt.  He really 
helped me a ton.  Many thanks to all!
