[magreene@xxxxxxxx]

Yesterday evening (Sunday, October 1st) about 4:30 pm I encountered a 
Scissor-tailed Flycatcher at the jct. of Hwy. 104 & Hwy. 467 (about 2 miles due 
west of Trenton) in Gibson County.  I did not have my binoculars with me as I 
was driving my grandmother's car but the bird appeared to be a female type as 
the tail was not extremely long and the sides were pale pink.  The bird was 
flycatching from a guy wire near a utility pole right next to the highway.

Also on Thursday, September 28 I had a Bald Eagle at the south end of Gibson 
County Lake on Concord Cades Rd. east of Trenton.  The bird was probably a 4th 
year bird as the head was not quite completely white and it had a few light 
feathers on the back.

Good birding!
