I visited Sequatchie Valley today looking for the flock of Brewer's Blackbirds 
that have been wintering there for several years.  There are at least 20 or 
more birds there this winter.  From Hwy 28, turn east on Sprouse Hill Road just 
north of Dunlap.  Go left on Kelly Cross Road and you will soon reach the 
Johnson Family Farm and the Cookie Jar Cafe.  The birds hang around the trees 
below the restaurant and in the muddy fields near the road.  It is an excellent 
place for close views and one can usually use the car as a blind.  I checked 
Nine Mile Road farther north in the valley for Rough-legged Hawk without 
success.  In Chattanooga at Chester Frost Park, a large murder of crows was 
seen with several Fish Crows in the mix.  I had no luck with Virginia Rail at 
the Standifer Gap Marsh.
