[TN-Bird] Loudon County Shrikes and others

Yesterday late afternoon Phil and I drove over to a farm road near Tellico  
Village to see if we could find any Dickcissels or Bobolinks.  We  didn't.  
But, we were excited to hear at least 2, maybe 3 Bobwhite Quail  and saw 
and heard many Chats, Indigos and Eastern Kingbirds.  Driving  further down 
the road, we found a pair of Loggerhead Shrikes sitting on a  barbed-wire 
fence (where else), near a couple of small trees growing in the  fence line.  
Perfect habitat!  We didn't see any prey on the fence,  but didn't wish to 
disturb them, so we drove past without stopping.
 
Our TN list is growing.
