It seems to be a good year for Fox Sparrows in the Knoxville area.
As I reported yesterday, a number were found during the Knoxville
CBC on Saturday (2 Jan).  I also had 2 during the Norris CBC on
19 Dec.  Last night (4 Jan) as I left work around 5:45pm, I heard
a Fox Sparrow singing in the brushy area around our parking lot
(this is in west Knox Co off of Hardin Valley Rd).

This morning (5 Jan) I again had a 1st-winter Herring Gull in a
group of Ring-billed Gulls passing over the house.  Based on their
flight path (assuming they are flying a straight line), I suspect
they are roosting on Ft Loudon Lake somewhere near Concord and
likely heading to the landfill off of I-75 in Anderson Co.  That
would be about 20 miles as the gull flies.
