Hello Birders,
For several days here in the Charlotte Park section of West Nashville near 
the old Cleece's Ferry landing on a Davidson County section of the Cumberland 
River, I have had two starlings who have the eastern meadowlark song down to 
the 
last nuance of every tone!  Since I have never had a meadowlark on this 
property, those pesky starlings had me all excited and dashing outside to see 
my 
"new yard birds!"  Just imagine my chagrin when I saw the two starlings down on 
the lawn mouthing off the perfect imitation.  I still run outside when I hear 
them, even though I've grown accustomed to it being starlings.  I also have 
one starling that thinks its a phoebe as it speaks "phoebe" very frequently.

While I was showering earlier today, something must have "gotten" one of my 
little juncos.  When I returned to the dining room and went outside to take 
more food, quite a number of likely junco feathers were blowing around on the 
deck that were not there before I went in to shower.

Cheers & prayers,

Dee Thompson
Nashville, TN
