Hi Micky

We are a few hours North of you.  I am so thrilled we have a Heron here!  I am 
still trying to figure out what kind of sparrows are living with us.  My 
husband is coming around lol in his pre-me days he would have rid the barn of 
the pesky sparrows!  Yesterday I caught him sneaking up on the Heron to get a 
closer look ;o)

We have sighted sparrows, red-wing black birds, bluebirds, cardinals, doves, 
woodpeckers, falcons, hawks and a TON of creepy vultures lol

I have to go feed the horses so I will talk to you later :o)

TTFN,
Lisa Tucker
Erin, TN
