Farragut, Knox County, TN 03/20/08 Re: Fox Sparrow While digiscoping some birds across from "The Cove" park off of Northshore drive I found several Fox Sparrows with some White-throated Sparrows. To see them take Northshore Dr. about a mile past the Concord road roundabout heading west andpull into the parking lot on your right just past the ball fields across from the Cove park. In the brush along the leftside of the parking lot there are plenty of sparrows in the brush along the tree line at the moment underneath the pines. If you go through to the next parking lot for the boat launch there is a heron rookery right across the inlet with several active nests. In the Cove park itself is a good spot for Brown-headed Nuthatch and Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Didn't see the Horned Grebes though.
