On my way to west TN this morning, I had a Merlin in Jackson (Madison Co) 
flying over the Columns shopping center on Vann Rd (exit 80B), just north of 
I-40.  It appeared to have been chasing some starlings.

In western Dyer Co, along the westernmost levees along the Mississippi River, I 
had a bunch of loggerhead shrikes and a dark phase Harlan's Hawk (which was 
cooperative and well photographed in flight).  

Hundreds of horned larks worked the freshly plowed ag fields across Dyer Co.

Good Birding,
Scott Somershoe
