[UTLAW97@xxxxxxx]

On Monday I went to my nearby two miles stretch of woodlands near  Cumberland 
City at the southwest portion of Montgomery County, on the Stewart  County 
border., swamp and river. I saw a Northern Harrier and posted video  at:

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwhU5nmGMgM) 
I shot other video from a greater distance that I haven't posted yet. I  
haven't posted any photos yet..
Shortly before about 1 1/2 away, I saw a bald eagle. It came so close, I  
wasn't prepared and missed the perfect opportunity for photos and video.
Also saw 2 wood ducks, several pairs of Canada Geese, at least 4 red-winged  
black birds, although I am sure there were more, tons of swallows, 3 killdeer  
and at least 10 snipes. Got great snipe pix compared to ones I discussed on 
list  before. Can actually tell with good detail what the birds are with no 
guessing  required. They have been getting closer and closer to the spot I 
shoot 
at them  without seeming to care about me. Haven't posted them yet.
Around the Montgomery County area I have seen Great Blue Herons all over  the 
place. If you are familiar with Clarksville, yesterday I saw them  near the 
hospital, above the Madison Street Kroger, above the Courthouse, over  Woodlawn 
Elementary, as well as on Riverside near kickers. (Talk about you gotta  know 
Clarksville to get the wide range on these.)
I have only seen 2 other people shooting pix where I go, both the same  
weekend, as I guess it is close enough to LBL and Cross Creek NWR to keep my  
competition down. Only have to worry about hunters shooting me!
