[tn-bird] CLARK'S NUTCRACKER...near Anniston Alabama...Still there sunday


Just A quick note to let everyone know that the Nutcracker was still in about 
the same place on Sunday morning when Howard Horne and I observed the bird for 
approximately 1/2 hour between 8:00 and 9:00 AM.

I am coping the directions from al-bird in case anyone needs them:

REVISED DIRECTIONS:   From I-20 east of Oxford, take exit #191 onto US 
431 
south.  Travel 3.7 miles to AL 281 and turn right at signs for Cheaha 
State 
Park.  Follow AL 281 south for 13.1 miles to park entrance.  At large 
brown 
entrance sign turn right and pay your fee ($1 per person).  From the 
pay 
booth go straight ahead on the summit loop road for 0.6 miles to the 
first 
intersection.  You will pass two "upper campground" signs on the way.  
At the 
intersection turn left following the rock sign directions to "picnic 
area and 
tower."   You will pass a rock building and radio tower in 100 yards or 
so on 
the right.  In about 0.2 miles you will pass two picnic pavilions on 
the 
right (one is labeled pavilion #1).  From these pavilions go about 0.1 
mile 
to a metal and wood picnic table on the right (most other tables in 
area are 
concrete).  Look for orange surveyor tape on both sides of road marking 
spot. 
 This is the location the nutcracker seems to favor and has repeatedly 
returned to.  The bird sometimes sits quietly in nearby trees and 
blends in 
well when not moving.  Given time it should fly down to feed.  Once 
this 
morning it flew a few hundred yards west over large rocks and was not 
seen 
again for over an hour.  There are other campgrounds in the area so it 
might 
be visiting other locations.  However, so far, it has remained faithful 
to 
the primitive camp area.

Cheers,

Smoot Major
