Steve Stedman and I birded in the Sequatchie Valley in Bledsoe County on
Friday morning, June 24, mainly looking for Scissor-tailed Flycatchers. They
were there, but harder to see than usual, except for a female building a
nest on the phone pole at the corner of East Valley Road and Akins Rd. near
Swafford Pond. It's been a good season for Dickcissels in eastern TN, and
the 15 we found is our high count in the valley.

Here is our list that Steve entered in eBird.
