Ken/Ed,
Love to see a photo of the Harris's (not doubting it), getting late for them in
the state, and it should be in pretty nice plumage by this time! I had an April
bird a few years ago, and by late April it was really nice and silver-headed.
Regarding the Grosbeak, there are a fair number of Black-headed records, though
very few recent ones unfortunately. They are scattered across the state, with a
number from east and middle, though as Ed mentioned extreme west TN is well
represented. The last one I remember was one Jeff had in the spring several
years ago, up in Lake Co if I remember correctly (on the road to Island 13). We
need another one; i.e. I need one in TN! :") I should be seeing some in a
couple of days, but they won't help my state list any....
Good birding,
Mike Todd

No worries, Ken. Not sure if there are any TN records for black-headed, but I
imagine it would take a heck of a west to east storm to blow one in from, say,
central TX during Spring migration (the closest point on the range map).
Alas, you never know!

p.s.- if one were to show up, Shelby Co. would be a good place to expect it!

Hi All,
Sorry I was looking at a dark picture when I posted earlier, I got a better
picture the bill is much more pale than we thought. It was a female Rose
Breasted Grosbeak.....
Sorry, I posted before looking closely at the second picture.....
The Harris sparrow is for real.
Thanks
