Dec. 5, 2005 Oakland TN Fayette Co. I have posted photos of Inca Doves seen in TN this year. Fortunately the second bird is still coming to a feeder in Oakland. Theresa Graham sent me wonderful photos of a bird that she has hosted for a few days. They are trying to work on plans for visitors around their busy schedules. Here are her instructions so far and you can "e" mail her at: _2graham@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (mailto:2graham@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) I've posted 3 photos at: _http://www.pbase.com/ol_coot/incadove_ (http://www.pbase.com/ol_coot/incadove) Her instructions are below, please call or write before going: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jeff were talking about location for birders to come and view the bird. Probably, rather than the wooded lot, the East side of the house would offer a better viewing area. There is a clear unfenced area there and that land does belong to us That would put birders about a good 30 feet away from the area the dove frequents. We have a 4x4 post in the ground with shepherd hooks mounted to it and feeders hung from the hooks. It is beneath this feeding station that our little Inca frequents. He is usually in the company of a pair of Mourning Doves. Again, Danny will be home every day this week except Thursday (all day at the Fire Dept) and we have a wedding in Memphis on Saturday and will probably leave the house around 11:00 and not sure what time we'll be back home. Sunday we go to church and Wal-Mart and we are back home around 11:00. No plans for Sunday afternoon if folks want to plan a visit then. Danny is primed and ready for the fact that our little bird is going to cause a stir.....hard thing for a non-birder to comprehend :-) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Theresa's Christmas Gift to you all!!!
