[OLCOOT1@xxxxxxx]

2005 in Tennessee
 
Come to Tennessee. Your new birding destination ;o)
 
With Townsend's Solitaire, Black-throated Sparrow, Inca Dove, breeding  
Scissor-tailed Flycatchers and Western Kingbirds, Vermilion Flycatcher,  
California 
Gull, Say's Phoebe, Rufous and Broad-tailed Hummingbirds,  Pacific and 
Yellow-billed Loons this year, the TN list is looking like something  from far 
west 
of the Mississippi River. Should I get me some cowboy boots and 10  gallon 
Stetson to bird in?
 
With South Polar Skua, Bridled, Sooty and Royal Terns, Band-rumped  
Storm-Petrel, Black Skimmers, Laughing Gulls galore, Pomarine, Parasitic and  
Long-tailed Jaeger's, Red-necked Grebe, Little, Iceland, Thayer's, Lesser and  
Greater 
Black-backed Gulls plus Magnificent Frigatebirds, this year, I feel  like I 
should at least go to the coast and splash salt water in my face or put a  
little sand in my shoes and wear a slicker while birding.
 
In reading reports from other states, it seems like it has been a  really 
crazy year all around.  
Good Birding  !!!

 
Land Locked  and Loving IT!
