[TN-Bird] dickcissel, bobwhite, chats, abundance!

Hello,
On June 5th & 6th I went birding at a farm newly opened to the public, and I 
was awed by the abundance of birds I saw there!  I did not start out counting 
and tend to lose track after about 10, so I apologize I don't have numbers, but 
it was great!  My bird list follows, and if you are interested in birding 
Stillwaters Farm in Chester County (right outside Henderson), then consult the 
website: www.stillwaters-tn.com or email the owners, Valeria and Rich Pitoni: 
stillwatersfarm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx  They offer both overnight and 1/2 day birding 
packages.  They are seeking input from their birding guests to help build their 
bird list!

cheers!
