Lee & Lois Herndon Chapter TOS members Reece Jamerson, Kim Stroud, Jean Potter, Bryan Stevens and David Kirschke helped lead a bird walk today at Sycamore Shoals State Park, Elizabethton. Four members of the public turned out for the walk. Highlights included male Blackpoll Warbler, Northern Waterthrush, Veery, several Spotted Sandpipers and Green Herons. After the walk, Reece, Kim, Jean and Bryan continued to bird. A trip to Musick's Campground, S. Holston Lake, Sullivan County, produced four Double-crested Cormorants. Paddlecreek Pond near Bristol produced four (4) Grasshopper Sparrows as well as a Green Heron, and a few Spotted Sandpipers and Solitary Sandpipers. At this point, Reece, Jean and Bryan continued birding in Elizabethton at Rasar's Farm, where they saw two Great Blue Herons, four Wood Ducks, several Spotted Sandpipers, a Solitary Sandpiper and a Semipalmated Plover. The plover was a new state bird for Jean.
