HAPPY NEW YEAR, FELLOW BIRDERS & FRIENDS,
 
Here in the Charlotte Park area of West Nashville, Davidson County, TN, my 
first bird of the early dawn was a mourning dove perched on a utility line in 
my 
back yard.  Peace dove???  Hopefully.
 
The next few, in order of appearance, were white-throated sparrow, house 
sparrow, cardinal, dark-eyed junco, starling, robin, mockingbird, rock pigeon 
and 
blue jay.  Just the usual species have come to avail themselves of Dee's 
Smorgabird where they are hungrily feeding in this 22 degree weather.  I've 
poured 
a pan of hot water over the frozen water in their bird bath, so they are able 
to quinch their thirst as well.  It is fun to watch them peck at the peanut 
butter which froze in a minute, but several species in the crowd of birds 
really 
love it.  Two mockingbirds were just "fighting" over the PB.  Squirrels are 
beginning to appear, so I expect to be busy today resupplying the food for all 
of them.
 
My first chickadee of the year just appeared.  They are late risers today, so 
maybe they partied last night.
 
Let's all hope for a wonderful year ahead, bird-wise and otherwise.  
Blessings to you all.
 
Dee Thompson
