[TN-Bird] Backyard birding

Domestic engineering challenges kept me away from regular birding venues like 
Shelby Forest State Park and Eagle Lake WMA today, but I did manage some time 
on the lower deck with the Sunday newspaper and the latest edition of 
"BirdWatcher's Digest".  The waterfall and mister were particular attractants 
today.
