After work today, I visited a few birding spots near town and found a lone Spotted Sandpiper at a pond near the Nolichuckey River--the same pond where I got my first Solitary Sandpiper a few days ago. A Solitary (probably the same one) was still present today, along with nine Blue-winged Teal and a Common Snipe. Back home this evening, I found my first Chimney Swift of the season. (I notice that I am at least the third poster on TN-Bird this spring to report a first Chimney Swift arrival from an evening sighting.)
