TN-Birders: I was unable to find the Sage Thrasher on Monday or Tuesday, although my visits to the area were brief (about 45 minutes). It may be gone or simply not like the weather we've had for the past five days. Since the sun is finally coming out, I'm willing to take people out there on Friday and Sunday to see if we have better luck than last weekend when it was so gray and rainy. So here are the trip details: Friday, Nov. 21 at 11:00 PM Meet me (Susan Hoyle) at 11:00 at the AmSouth Bank (Bearden Branch) parking lot at 6100 Kingston Pike at the intersection of Northshore Dr. and Kingston Pike. From I-40 take the Papermill Rd exit (exit 383) and take Northshore Dr. over to the first light at Kingston Pike. Cross Kingston Pike and turn right into the bank parking lot. We will caravan and carpool from here. Sunday, Nov. 23 at 11:00 Same as above. There may also be a trip on Saturday. Marcia will post details. Remember the island is covered in blackberry brambles, so wear suitable clothing if you wish to attempt to flush the bird.
