Greetings, For those interested in the arrival times for Hummers, for the last three years since we have come here to reside on a permanent basis, our scout has arrived on April l5th. He was a day early this year and showed up at around 6 P. M. on the l4th and was very hungry, taking long drinks. We live in Fiery Gizzard Cove about half-way between South Pittsburg, Tn and the foot of Monteagle. It's good to hear that David Aborn in Hixson saw a Red Headed Woodpecker. When we first acquired this property in l988, some Red-Headeds seemed to be resident. Then after l989 we saw no more except for two days during this past winter, but we have not seen it since. We have all the other woodpecker types possible and still had a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker yesterday. J. N.
