Frank, You folks are very nonchalant about the Tricolored Heron! It is a much rarer bird than a Swainson's Warbler! This species is extremely rare away from the counties that border the Mississippi River in TN. The Tennessee Bird Records Committee Official List of the Birds of Tennessee asks for documentation of this species away from the Mississippi River. You can find a documentation form to download off the Tennessee Ornithological Society website. Look under Bird Records Committee. If you need any help, let me know. (you can send the completed form to me) Thanks Kevin Calhoon Chattanooga, TN > -----Original Message----- > From: sabflb@xxxxxxxxxxx [SMTP:sabflb@xxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Saturday, April 13, 2002 3:17 PM > To: tn-bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [tn-bird] Sharp's Ridge & Kyker Bottoms > > This a.m.(4/13) on Sharp's Ridge in Knoxville a Swainson's Warbler was > heard and then seen at close range.
