Greetings from the Charlotte Park area of West Nashville just a little east of the old Cleece's Ferry landing. As one who NEVER has any hummingbirds during the time they are nesting, I am always thrilled to see one, then a trickle of more, as they start moving around again. Last year, a gorgeous male flashed his flaming throat at me on the morning of my 69th birthday on July 20th, 2003. This morning, a female showed up at my feeder as my seventh decade of life comes to its end ready to begin the eight decade tomorrow when I will celebrate my 70th birthday! Naturally, I was ecstatic to see this little jewel and hope she and others will return tomorrow to help me "celebrate" my birthday AND the 35th anniversary of the Moon Landing. Cheers & prayers for fantastic birding, Dee Thompson Nashville, TN =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to sign your messages with first and last name, city (town) and state abbreviation. ----------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- To post to this mailing list, simply send email to: tn-bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to: tn-bird-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TN-Bird Net is owned by the Tennessee Ornithological Society Neither the society(TOS) nor its moderator(s) endorse the views or opinions expressed by the members of this discussion group.
