[Dthomp2669@xxxxxxx]

Good Morning,
 
Apparently, the crow roost along I-40 between the 46th Street & White  Bridge 
Road Exits in West Nashville, Davidson County, is doing well.  This  morning, 
at around 6:15, I stopped at the Walgreen's at Charlotte Pike &  White Bridge 
Road to get a paper before heading downtown to early church.   When I came 
out, I heard the cawing of at least a couple of thousand crows  coming from the 
direction of the Interstate just east of where I was.   Since it was still 
dark, I could not make any sight observations after I got  onto I-40.  When I 
came back, I noticed that all those "right-of-way trees"  were no longer there 
having been removed for the massively elaborate new  interchange at White 
Bridge 
Road.  There still are many trees in the yards  of homes that still flank the 
Interstate.  The crows must be roosting in  those trees.  With all that early 
morning noise, I'll bet those residents  are just about ready for a good, old 
fashioned crow shoot!  If I could hear  them from Walgreen's door, think what 
it must be like in those folks  yards!  Many, many of those crows fly over my 
place on their way to Bell's  Bend to feed with quite a few stopping in my 
yard to see if they can find  edibles.  In fact, about ten of them are out 
there 
strutting around right  now. 
 
That beautiful bluebird that I've been seeing at home in the Charlotte Park  
area of West Nashville was back on my wire again yesterday afternoon, and I  
also had about 300 common grackles inundating my hackberry trees.
 
Happy birding,
