January 13, 2011Hamblen county, TN As the county began to thaw out from its ice and snow cover, a Hamblen county farmlot brought some nice surprizes. State route 113, runs parallel to I-81....just north of exit 12 to exit 8 (Cracker Barrel exit). Passing through there today...I had the PIPITS feeding with some Mourning Doves and Starlings....the COLLARED DOVES were sitting on outbuildings adjacent to the barn, and the RUSTY BLACKBIRDS (24) were along the creek just to south of barn lot. I have seen the Doves there regularly for the past few months. Keep on brdn, Ben BrittonMorristown, TNHamblen Co. =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to SIGN YOUR MESSAGE with first and last name, CITY (TOWN) and state abbreviation.
