Obion Co, Tn
Near the Federal Refuge
Off of hwy 22 North of 157


I had heard yesterday there was a Imm. male Yellow headed Blackbird seen at the 
Feed lot up on the hill East the the Fed. Refuge.  I drove out to Hwy 22 from 
St. Rd 157 from the refuge and went left toward Union City and took the first 
Rd on the left that goes up to the feed lot.  After a time I found the bird 
sitting in a tree along the road opposite from the feed lot.  I immediately was 
pleasantly surprised when I saw the yellow on the head and when it turned it 
head I did see yellow on its neck also.  The bird had its back essentially to 
me, of course. The back was not black but a darkish brown.  The light was good 
on the head.  This is a first for me.  I will be glad to give better directions 
if someone is interested.  I did not note the name of the road but will find  
out.
