Thought those on the TN list might enjoy this short article that came from the AR list. This prompted me to check the Avisys database for states that I had seen this magnificent owl, and they included, in order of year seen: IL-86,87,00 AK-92,02,06 SD-95 IN-00 MN-02 KY-02 PA-03 ME-05 NY-08 TN-09 IA-09 NJ-12 GA-13 I think that Benton Basham and I were the first ones NOT to see the Cross Creeks bird that was around for several months. Boy, did I kick myself for not going earlier! Guess we can all hope for another TN snowy to enjoy.
