To clear up all possible misunderstanding I am going to post twice in = one day which I hope never too do again. Today 3/2/06, Ethridge TN was south = of Lawrenceburg TN in Lawrence county Tennessee. Were it will be tomorrow I don't know, I hope in the same spot. The list I am keeping includes = Rose's pond and all the land within 1/2 mile of the pond. This may sound big = but it is that far to the nearest shrubs and trees were I can get brush birds, = the pond is in the middle of a large cord field and cant be seen from the = road were there are crops growing. Yes Black Necked Stilts are rare. There = was one record for the county before I started finding then at this pond. I = went there today and it was sunny and 70 degrees I saw one turkey vulture and = a pipit.

For the person that needs = black necked stilt for there life list I have them every year and last year I = had 3. =20 =20 Here is the current list From January first to March first; there are 42 species so far. For reference I will call this pond Rose's Pond, because that is the name of the family that owns it. When it is full it is close = to 4 acres but spring rain pushes it to over 15 acres. I am doing poorly = with winter waterfowl because it did not flood this year and the water is = low. Last year we had 14 species of water birds at one time in the early = spring.
