east Tennessee...Knox and Campbell Counties
(for those who wonder why I put this info here...remember that messages on
this listserve are seen by birders from anywhere in the world. Many will not
know the names of places listed here, so a bit more info is helpful.
Imagine if you are going on a trip to another state and you want to see what
people are currently seeing there. Try looking at the state's listserve (go to
birdingonthe.net) - you'll see lots of references to local birding places,
towns, and counties. You'll spend a lot of time looking at a map trying to
find out if the place mentioned is anywhere near where you will be.
So I like to include the part of the state to which the post relates)
