Hi Lisa,
  I too am a newcomer bird watcher. I have feeders and watch the birds all 
day, but don't think we have anything unusual here.
I am unfamiliar with whereabouts in TN Erin is. I'm in Memphis and my husband 
says he sees herons as he goes out east to work.
I'm excited that I've had 3 hummingbirds show up in the past week. We see 
them for a few weeks and then they are gone till next year. Other that them I 
have a LOT of sparrows, wrens, blackbirds (one red wing), starlings and 
doves. Mourning and some larger, pale ring necked ones that I love. Even some 
pigeons have found their way to my feeders this year. I sit and watch them 
and have realized how different and pretty pigeons are no matter what anyone 
else says! 
I just found this newsgroup when I looked up Audubon.com to see about the 
center in Holly Springs where the hummingbirds where going to be this wknd. 
We didn't get to go see them though.
Like you said in your letter, I'm interested in learning how to know about 
birds and welcome anyone who wants to share information.
