Helen Dillon, nternationally known speaker in  horicultural circles, was
featured this weekend at Nashville Lawn and  Garden Show. I'd met her last
year on a speaking tour and called to see if  she wanted to go see the
cranes at Bell's Bend. No kidding, she was sitting  in her hotel room with a
copy of the New York Times article about the birds  in her hand, and was
"all for having a look at them" (insert Scottish  accent here,though she
lives in Ireland). This was Saturday afternoon, and  though we had a lovely
drive and she was happy to get out of the city and  see some of the
countryside, we did not find the two cranes. This is my  second try within
the week, with no luck. Has anyone seen them this past  week?

Helen flew back to Dublin today so missed her chance, but I'd  like to know
if anyone knows their whereabouts.  Thanks!

Carol
