Better late than never I suppose...
The Knoxville chapter of TOS conducted the Knox County Fall Count on
Sunday, 29 Sept 2013. Results below (please forgive the out-of-date
taxonomy).
On a related note, the Knoxville CBC will be held on Saturday, 4 Jan 2014.
Please contact me offline if you would like to participate.

Notes:
Participation (15 observers in 11 parties) was the lowest since 2001, in
part due to a conflict with the TOS State Meeting.
Species total (111 +3CW) is slightly below average for last 10 years (113).
Highlights were a Henslow's Sparrow found by Tom Howe at the UT Plant
Science Farm and 4 Fish Crows found by two parties, both firsts for
this count.
Other notable finds: Great Crested Flycatcher (late), Warbling Vireo,
American Pipit (early)
Notable misses: Barred Owl (increasingly difficult on Knoxville area
counts the past few years), Common Nighthawk (CW only), Blue-winged
Warbler, Nashville Warbler, Blue Grosbeak, Brown-headed Cowbird
High counts (since 1997): Bald Eagle (tie), N Flicker, Cedar Waxwing,
House Sparrow
Low counts (since 1997): Black-and-white Warbler (tie)
