Thanks, John. I'm assisting with the Radnor CBC this Saturday, and we'll take this into consideration. I may be showing my inexperience here, but is the loon considered "countable" for the CBC? It was, after all, "wild" a short time ago. If not, how does one differentiate certain rehabbedor "released" birds from individuals that've not been handled? How would I know, for instance,if a bald eagle had been "hacked" or not? What with the whole hooded crane debate, I had to ask. Ed SchneiderDavidson Co.

To: JanKShaw@xxxxxxx; tn-bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxx FYI - The loon was a release, possible from Walden's Puddle or other rehab. facility. I was out there late in the day and spoke with a contractor who saw the release take place earlier in the day near the old Visitor Center. Staff was gone so I don't know if they were notified.

No Hooded Cranes in sight, but this morning at Radnor Lake there was one Common Loon (very unusual for Radnor Lake) and one adult Bald Eagle (also seen by Scott Block) which hadn't been seen there for quite a while. The loon seemed healthy, diving quite a bit and preening. Jan Shaw Nashville, TN
