["bwilbur" <bwilbur@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Vermilion Flycatcher was still at Oneal Lake today!  Three of us from 
Clarksville (Steve and Debbie Hamilton, Barbara Wilbur) arrived at Hatchie 
Wildlife Refuge a few minutes before 11:00 a.m. and the Vermilion was 
conveniently sitting in a small tree almost directly across from the 
headquarters building near the pavilions.  He flew twice to finally land for 
several minutes on one of the pavilions with the light so perfect on him that 
he glowed red. After observing him for a few minutes, he appeared to fly off 
across the road and to the left of the headquarters building NEVER to be seen 
again (even though we stayed and looked all around the lake until 2 p.m.).

  The Vermilion Flycatcher was still there today!  Three of us from Clarksville 
(Steve and Debbie Hamilton, Barbara Wilbur) arrived at Hatchie a few minutes 
before 11:00 a.m. and the Vermilion was conveniently sitting in a small tree a 
across from but a little beyond the headquarters building.  Shortly after being 
sighted it flew to the peak of the smallest/fartherest pavilion; then it flew 
down and perched on a crossbar beneath the pavilion roof.  From there it flew 
back to a tree almost directly across from the headquarters building.  After 
providing us with great views at that location it appeared to fly off across 
the road and to the left of the headquarters building NEVER to be seen again 
(even though we stayed and looked all around the lake until 2 p.m.).
