TN-birders: If anyone is interested, I've posted several shots of the Yellow-billed Loon that has been in Georgia recently. These are in the "Rarities 4" album at: http://home.bellsouth.net/p/s/community.dll?ep=330&groupID=116215&folder view=thumbs&ck= I believe this link should work, or has in the past. I made this 900+ mile trip yesterday, and on the way home stopped by the refuge at Hiwassee, near Chattanooga, to view the Sandhills. This is my 1st time to this area, although I've always wanted to go there, and it was an amazing experience. I do good to see Sandhills once or twice a year in west TN, and some years don't see any. I've never seen over 50 Sandhills at a time in my life, to be surrounded by thousands was a truly amazing feeling. I'm sure most people reading this have made that journey before, but to any who haven't, it is quite a spectacle. I've also added a couple of photos of the Sandhills, in the same album at the Yellow-billed Loon. Good birding!!
