[<birder1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

TN-birders,

Mark Greene has already highlighted the birds on our Lake Co. run yesterday, 
and I'm sure Jeff will paint a picture with words as only he can. We had a 
great day, especially considering the wind, with special thanks to Glenn 
Criswell for turning up yet another great record for TN with his Black-bellied 
Whistling-Ducks! I have posted a couple of mediocre shots of the 
Whistling-Ducks, and also a shot of a very cooperative Upland Sandpiper seen 
Saturday. I am going back up to the area in the morning, and hope to get some 
better shots of the Whistling-Ducks if they are still in the area. The photos 
are in the "Uncommon to rare local birds (vol. 2) photo album at : 
http://home.bellsouth.net/p/s/community.dll?ep=330&groupID=116215&folderview=thumbs&ck
 .

On a separate note, anyone thinking of getting the "bionic ears" that Jeff has 
gotten should really consider it. After spending alot of time with Jeff in the 
field, it was a real treat knowing that Jeff was finally hearing the same songs 
and calls that Mark and I were (and as always even some that we missed!); when 
after a song or two, Jeff is picking up on Cape May and Bay-breasted songs, I'd 
say that was money well spent!

Good birding!!!!
