I will be visiting Tennessee from the 27 of March to 5 April. I haven't been to your area before and would like to do some birding while there. I will be at the Arrowmont School for the week so birding during the day is not possible but morning trips are. I figure I will have a couple of hours each morning if I get myself out of bed early enough...Then, I drive to Nashville for a couple of days, Saturday the 2nd to Monday the 4th. I am looking for some guidance about where I might go on my morning trips and then what areas I should not miss on the weekend. I will have a car and can hike a bit if needed. Should I be concerned about heading out alone? Any suggestions would be appreciated. You are welcome to contact me off list. Thank you so much for your help, I look forward to seeing a bunch of new birds and the Smokies as well.
