i am constantly amazed at what talented writers so many of our birders seem to be. very often i feel as if i'm walking around with them in their yards as they explain the events. i'm new to the tn-bird list but really enjoy hearing from dee thompson, tommy curtis and now today's michelle brown. i'm sure there have been many others that i've missed from areas that i either don't know where they are in TN or it's too far from me if i DO know. i love receiving these notes tho. keeps me on my toes to be looking for birds that previously i didn't know existed. what a great way to learn for a birding novice. thanks again to y'all. jan donaldson in watertown, TN (wilson county) =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to sign your messages with first and last name, city (town) and state abbreviation. ----------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- To post to this mailing list, simply send email to: tn-bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to: tn-bird-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TN-Bird Net is owned by the Tennessee Ornithological Society Neither the society(TOS) nor its moderator(s) endorse the views or opinions expressed by the members of this discussion group.
