Northern Rough Winged Swallow2389 viewsDue to the easy access of the nest I will not disclose it's location.

I believe this to be as identified but, if you know it to be another bird please, let me know.

Pinnacle Lookout Tower2254 viewsPinnacle Lookout Tower occupies the spot where an old Fire Tower once stood and is visible from the town of Unicoi, TN.

There is a trail leading to the tower from I-26, Unicoi exit. Better take along some water and energy bars, you will need both.
