[Jonniesuel@xxxxxxx]

David Stone, Green's Superintendent at the Honors Golf Course in  Ooltewah, 
TN in Hamilton County is hosting a large flock of  300 plus  Blackbirds.  They 
looked to be mostly Rusty but we didn't get a chance to  look through all of 
them today.  A Cooper's Hawk landed in the middle of  the flock on the ground 
and came up with a Redwing Blackbird.  Not sure  what all was in that flock but 
there were enough Rusty Blackbirds to satisfy my  daughter Sally's appetite 
for a lifer.
 
Thanks to one of the Crew workers, Steve Snow, we drove my car  around paths 
and trails that had probably never seen a car before.  He  showed us three 
Flying Squirrels huddled in a box together.  Time prevented  us from seeing all 
the other goodies that are out there.  They say we may  come again and we 
certainly plan to.
