Thank you very much for your great drections!!! This is an absolute beautiiful Western Grebe speciman first spotted around 8:30 AM (Be Still My Heart!) this morning by Stephen and Rebecca Satterfield. Patsy Shoffner soon joined us, then a while later Bill Sullivan joined in all the excitement, as the bird put on an absolute show for us. It stayed almost in the same area of water the entire time. Just before we left, around 12:30 PM John Henderson showed up with a group from Chattanooga and all were amazed the Grebe was so easy to see. Congratulations on your Great find and thanks again for sharing it with all of us. Good Birding and Good luck to all! Stephen and Rebecca Satterfield Luttrell, Tn (Union County) ------------------------------------------------------------- TN Birders, As I have already had a couple of requests for directions to the area Aechmorphorus spp. Was located I thought I would send it out to everyone at once. If you are headed north on Highway 33 turn right onto Hickory Valley Road (just before the BP station), then right onto Walker Ford Road just as you cross Dodson Creek, then you will turn left on to Black Fox Road. Take Black Fox Road until you cross the old steel girder bridge that crosses Hogskin Creek. There is an informal parking area on the left. Yesterday the bird was swimming approx. 100 meters off this point towards the main channel of the reservoir. That's about as close as I can get you form here. Good luck, I hope some others see this bird. It was certainly my first look at one. =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to sign your messages with first and last name, city (town) and state abbreviation. ----------------------------------------------------- To post to this mailing list, simply send email to: tn-bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to: tn-bird-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Topographical Maps located at http://topozone.com/find.asp * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the Tennessee Ornithological Society web site at http://www.tnbirds.org * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TN-Bird Net Owner: Wallace Coffey, Bristol, TN jwcoffey@xxxxxxxxxx (423) 764-3958 ========================================================= =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to sign your messages with first and last name, city (town) and state abbreviation. ----------------------------------------------------- To post to this mailing list, simply send email to: tn-bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to: tn-bird-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Topographical Maps located at http://topozone.com/find.asp * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the Tennessee Ornithological Society web site at http://www.tnbirds.org * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TN-Bird Net Owner: Wallace Coffey, Bristol, TN jwcoffey@xxxxxxxxxx (423) 764-3958 =========================================================
