[Dthomp2669@xxxxxxx]

Hello from the Charlotte Park section of West Nashville about four blocks 
east of the Cumberland River's old Cleece's Ferry crossing to Bell's Bend in 
Davidson County.
Yesterday, at 4:29 PM, a BEE-YOO-TI-FUL white crowned sparrow appeared on my 
deck and began feeding gregariously as if it was starved to the core.  The 
bird was quite "testy" and not in the mood for interference from the juncos, 
cardinals, field sparrows, white-throats & mourning doves also feeding there at 
the time.  It fed for several minutes, then flew over to get several sips of 
water and took off toward the Cumberland River and Bell's Bend.  Nice thrill 
for 
this old birder, as I rarely see white-crowneds.

Cheers & prayers,

Dee Thompson
Nashville, TN
