Keith Watson and I had 14 Rusty blackbirds in Springbrook Park below the Recreation Center pavilion on Thursday afternoon. This was a nice ending for a great birding day in Blount County, Concord Park area of Knox and Fort Loudon dam. While we didn't see Howdeshell's Painted bunting, Maryville's Peregrine falcon was nicely perched on the CBBC bank sign. We had 58 species for the day. Warren Bielenberg Maryville
