[TN-Bird] A couple of good birds and one stunner in MS

Grenada Lake CBC
Grenada Co. MS

I had to get out of the state and away from the Big Year thoughts, so I went 
down to help out Gene Knight and crew on their count. It was a slow day at 
work anyhow ;o)

I found a first winter, female Prairie Warbler (they get it on the count some 
years) and two Surf Scoters but the real stunner for the day was a Blue Jay 
than jumped up in front of Shannon, Gene and the OL'COOT. 

It was white all over with a pearlish blue over cast in areas. It just took 
our breathes away. I tried for a photo but the bird was shy. It stayed close 
by but would not hold still for a shot and we had a Barn Owl to locate so we 
had to leave this beautiful bird. It was celestial to say the least and we 
last saw it at the gates of a different heaven (at least for some birders), 
the entrance to the Grenada Waste Water Treatment Plant. What a Christmas 
treat............

Good Birding!!!
