["Mark & Tommie Gail Bennett" <benn5609@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For what it is worth, I saw a Peregrine Falcon flying over Vanderbilt
Football stadium in the fall of 2005 while watching a football game =
there.
Interestingly, I can remember the bird, but not who Vanderbilt played =
that
day.  I recall asking Chris Sloan about Peregrines in Nashville, but I
honestly cannot recall exactly what I asked or what he answered.  That =
would
have been in September or October of 2005.
