Today I saw a flock of 68 Rusty Blackbirds at Amnicola Marsh in Hamilton 
county.  Green-winged Teal, Ring-necked Duck, Hooded Merganser, Bufflehead, 
Gadwall, Mallard, Northern Shoveler, and Canada Goose were also at the 
marsh.
About 20 Sandhill Cranes were calling as they flew south near Sims-Harris 
Rd. in Ooltewah, Hamilton county.
Thirty Pine Siskins made a quick stop (two minutes) at my feeders today in 
Marion county.  They are so nomadic and frightened.  The flock seems to be 
constantly moving across the mountain.  I hear them daily, but the last time 
the flock visited my feeders was about a month ago ( 45 second stop). 
Sweetgum tree balls seem to be their favorite.
