thank you, villagers



Many thanks to Claire Manzo president of the Tellico Village Birders Club for inviting me to speak to their group recently about some of the species of birds that migrate south or downslope from the Smokies to spend their winters here in the Tennessee Valley.

We all look forward to seeing species like the winter wren, hermit thrush, golden-crowed kinglet and dark-eyed junco. The Tellico Villagers routinely have common loons and brown-headed nuthatches, which was a bit of a surprise to me. 

After the rains pass, it will be a beautiful time to go birding.
