05-16-13 Sharp's Ridge Knoxville, TN Sunny to partly cloudy I drove to Sharp's Ridge and bumped into another birder, Eric...sorry, I am lousy at last names. But, thank you for helping me with birding. I photographed m&f scarlet tanagers, bay-breasted warbler, chestnut-sided warbler, red-breasted nuthatch, and red-eyed vireo. I photo-captured several birds I am having trouble IDing and sending pics. They are a bit blurry. Eric stated we also heard an oven bird. Fairfield Glades Crossville, TN While at my mother's house on the lake, I spotted song sparrows, plenty of gold finches and two spotted sandpipers. Windrow Road Rockvale, TN The Great Herons are still at the rain-soaked cow pasture Update: My sister left yesterday for Crossville. I received a phone call an hour after she left. She said she pulled over on 840 because there was a deer carcass with multiple black vultures devouring it. She got out of her car and photographed the scene. That made her day. Well, if I have said it once, I will say it again. If either my sister or myself mysteriously perish via vehicle, just automatically write down the cause as "birding."
