[Dthomp2669@xxxxxxx]

Hello Birders,
Good morning from my home in the Charlotte Park area of West Nashville a few 
blocks east of the Cumberland River's old Cleece's Ferry landing across from 
Bell's Bend in Davidson County.

At 7:20 AM, on this date of my 26th anniversary of leaving Florida to drive 
to Tennessee to STAY, I took peanut butter outside to feed my mockingbirds.  
One of my mockers perched right up next to where I place the PB, so I just 
offered the ball of peanut butter from the tips of my fingers, and the 
mockingbird 
FED DIRECTLY FROM MY HAND!  It took about 6 or 7 bites before the cold 
overcame a not-so-warmly dressed me and chased me back inside.  Such a thrill!  
Oh, 
how I wish someone had been here to take a photo of the bird eating straight 
from my fingers.  Maybe someday, if I am lucky, the bird will perform when I 
have an audience ready with the camera.

Isn't birding just the greatest fun!

Cheers & prayers,

Dee Thompson
Nashville, TN
