Pete Thayer's Favorite Hot Spots:
Great Smoky Mountains
35.41 N   83.32 W
The ancient Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina contain some wonderful surprises. Warblers nest here that might otherwise have continued on to Canada. The scenery is beautiful and serene. Plus, you can always drop off the non-birders at Dollywood!

Reelfoot Lake
36.38 N   89.37 N
Bald Eagles are a highlight of this area in winter. Formed by a huge earthquake (the same one that made the Mississippi River flow backwards!), the lake and surrounding areas offer dozens of birding spots throughout the year. Wood Ducks and Wild Turkeys are everywhere.

Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge
36.26 N   88.11 N
This is actually two refuges 40 miles apart located along the Mississippi Flyway. Migration is the best time to visit. Waterfowl spend the winter here as do Bald Eagles.
