And for Jane & me, the Red-tailed Hawk that we saw as we were coming in made a bookend appearance as we were going out. It flew across the road about 50 feet in front of us. Fantastic day!

Roger, As we were eaving Burkes Garden today, I saw another Rough-legged Hawk. It was jsut before we got back to the store. It flew across the road from r to l. It was very low overhead. As you were close behind us you may have already recorded it. We really enjoyed the trip tody. --- Roger Mayhorn <mayhorn@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi All, > It looks like the weather will be good enough for us > to make our trip to Burkes Garden on Saturday, Feb. > 9th, even though there is a good chance we will get > rained on. > As I previously posted, we will be leaving Hardees > in Tazewell around 8:00 a.m. Some of us will get > there about 7:30 in order to have time to eat first. > > Remember, you have the option of taking your lunch > or buying your lunch at the country store there in > the Garden. > Dress for rain and dress warmly.
