You may already know Julie Zickefoose as artist, writer, birder and NPR commentator. TN's Janet McKnight alerted her to the hunt proposal in TN. As a result, she wrote a commentary on hunting cranes in one of the most read birding blogs on the internet. Read what she has to say and if you haven't already responded, give thought to your own response to the call for comment on TWRA's proposal to hunt TN's sandhill cranes. Most of all, use your voice. Here is the link to her comments and to the many responses she has already received. _http://10000birds.com/shooting-sandhills-in-tennessee.htm_ (http://10000birds.com/shooting-sandhills-in-tennessee.htm) Vickie Henderson Knoxville, TN Knox County =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to SIGN YOUR MESSAGE with first and last name, CITY (TOWN) and state abbreviation.
