TN birders,
 
Had the redpoll yesterday at 10:13 am Central time.  First seen in the  
wisteria bush, it shortly came to the tube feeder at the back of the  carport.  
Good looking female.  Thanks Bill for sharing this nice  bird, and keeping the 
listserv updated on the latest.
 
Proceeded to Shelby Farms due to Jeff's kind update on Cackling  Geese.  Took 
a while, as the geese were scattered in numerous  locations.  Finally found 5 
in the pond at the T intersection of Farm  Road.  Also had 1 Ross's and 6 
Greater white-fronted, all at different  locations.  Number of waterfowl did 
not 
approach what Jeff reported  earlier, but I did not cover all the area.
 
The day was a beautiful day to be outside.  Only tallied 54 species,  but two 
new state birds made the day quite sweet.  Also, except for Bradley  and 
Hamilton counties. tallied at least one new species in all the other  counties 
traversed(14), mostly drive bys.  Took the leusurely way back  home(highway 72 
through north MS and AL), getting 19 species to start the year  MS list and a 
few new ones for the AL year list.  Also, the 65 degree  weather was a drastic 
change from the cold of Kabul, Afghanistan.
