David Thometz and I saw a Peregrine Falcon make a dive on a flock of European Starlings near the Magic Mart in Elizabethton, Carter Co., TN, on Jan. 3. This is the location where Wal-Mart was FORMERLY located. We had just finished taking down ornaments from the Lee & Lois Herndon Chapter's tree at Sycamore Shoals State Park in Elizabethton. It was a good day for falcons. We also had an American Kestrel near Holiday Inn in Erwin, TN; and two additional American Kestrels near the Okolona Exit off I-26 between Unicoi and Johnson City. We also saw an Eastern Meadowlark in the town of Unicoi.
