Hi Don,
But the question is, did Virg Carr give you a bag of pink, red and yellow
tomatoes ? He did me. They are delicious ! So that ought to tell you
something ;-) I would have had all the additional birds you reported except I
left my eye glasses, binoculars and scope at home. Being birding blind, in
such cases, I had to identify all my birds by ear. I did not hear the
additional egrets, nigh-herons, ducks and sandpiper and they did not fly close
enough to my chum line for me to feel the air from their wingbeats. I know why
you and Dianne follow me around to get good birds. What I want to know is how
you guys know where and when I will be birding ? :-( I am going to start
doubling back on you !

Hey Wallace,
Dianne Draper and I were at Musick's about an hour after you were there.
We saw the 3 Black Terns, plus a Caspian Tern (both TN & VA). Also, there
were a total of 4 Great Egrets, 6 Black-crowned Night-Herons, a Green Heron, 2
Wood Ducks, and a Spotted Sandpiper (all TN). You must have been chumming !-)
All we had to do was pull up a chair for what I like to call the Evening Show
at Musick's.
