Sunday, Mar 3, I again saw a Northern Harrier fly over my house in Central Community, Carter Co., TN, high and flying, or being blown, southeast. Monday, Mar.4, I saw a Brown Thrasher in my yard several times, once eating cracked corn that I spread on the ground. This is the first Brown Thrasher I have seen since the one I saw here on November 25, 2001. I would like to think it is the same bird, but who knows? I was surprised to see him choosing cracked corn. One I used to see all winter in Greene Co. regularly ate black oil sunflower. It would place them on the lawn and hammer them straight on with its bill, reminding me of a woodpecker.
