Near Noon Monday: Just returned from a look for Rick's swan. Searched high and low with Bob Quillen but no luck. As we were getting in the car to leave the bird was seen in the little drainage ditch where it was last week. Where it was when we were looking I have no idea. If at first you don't succeed--blaw blaw blaw. We also heard and saw a raven while at the complex. I would like to have asked the question about feeding the bird but might hit a cat nest. I have noted that Rick Knight, Bob Sargent, Don Holt and Jeff Wilson do not usually enter these word contests. Does that say something? Have a good one, Bert Hale, Bluff City, TN (Sullivan Cy.} ************************************************* BRISTOL BIRDS NET LIST This is a regional birding list sponsored by the Bristol Bird Club to facilitate communications between birders and bird clubs of Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee.
