After coming home from the weekend @Tim's Ford this afternoon(saw a pair of common loons, 3 red-headed woodpeckers, flock of 20+ cedar waxwings- flycatching!), we decided to do a drive through Shelby Park. The usual suspects were there, canada geese, mallards,muscovy,domestic geese, and the blue phase snow goose(still just one). When a car pulled up to feed the birds some bread, up popped a female hooded merganser (lifebird for my wife and I), and was competing with some much larger birds for scraps! It was late in the day, but managed to get some photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/30862495@N04/3302628718/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/30862495@N04/3301796483/ Ed Schneider Whites Creek, Davidson Co., Tn. _________________________________________________________________ Access your email online and on the go with Windows Live Hotmail. http://windowslive.com/online/hotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_AE_Access_022009 =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to SIGN YOUR MESSAGE with first and last name, CITY (TOWN) and state abbreviation.
