Tommy an dVirginia, a truly Happy New Year for you guys - Great! Now you have gotten my inspiration elevated and I want to make a trip to Quincy and St. Louis. Would you mind sharing more location details of where I might be able to see both the Ivory Gull and the Eurasian Tree Sparrow? I live in the Memphis area and the Gull would be a lifer for me too. The Sparrow would be an ABA lifer for me. I am thinkning of leaving fairly early tomorrow morning. Many Thanks and Bird On!Georges McNeil On Friday, January 9, 2015 1:22 PM, Tommy Curtis <tcbirdwatch@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Just when we thought nothing could be as good as seeing the Ivory Gull and Eurasian Tree Sparrow yesterday, Virginia screamed with joy as she was looking out our back picture window just now and saw a beautiful Eastern Screech – Owl face peering out of the owl box. We’ve wanted one so long and have been sorry to see two killed on the road near us but finally a live one is here! Tommy & Virginia CurtisSmithville, TNDeKalb County
