This is an invitation to all area birders to participate in the Stones River National Battlefield's 3rd annual International Migratory Bird Day (IMBD) bird count on Saturday May 12. The bird walk officially starts at 9 AM, but "early birders" are welcome to join me around 7 to catch some of the birds who are less inclined to call later in the morning. Fortress Rosecrans is at Old Fort Park in Murfreesboro, just off Highway 96 (Old Fort Parkway). --Laura McCall, Highland Rim TOS Lynchburg, TN Below is the announcement from the Battlefield: Please join Stones River National Battlefield and members of the Highland Rim Chapter of the Tennessee Ornithological Society in a celebration of International Migratory Bird Day.
