This morning at JBR in Greeneville (7:30am-10:30am) I got some of the best
and closest looks at white-crowned sparrows I've ever had. Lots of
waterfowl on some of the ponds and flushed numerous Wilson's Snipe on my
walk. I also took a quick (20 min) trip over to LCB and added 2 Eastern
Towhees and 2 Black Vultures. Great day - eBird list follows:
