Hello TN Birders, I'm a birder from San Jose, CA and I'm planning a visit to non-birding frie= nds in Jackson, TN this fall. We are working details, but sometime in late= Sept to Oct. We will be there about a week and I will have at least one f= ull day of birding and maybe two. I will have a rental car and I am willing to drive a few hours to get to an= y prime birding locations if needed. The nearest that I have birded to Tennessee is SW Missouri, S Louisiana and= S Texas. What can people on this list recommend, locations, habitat, species of loca= l interest to a west coast birder, and any other recommendations to someone= unfamiliar with the area? I would assume this is near prime-time fall mig= ration? =20 Please reply off-list to chenrossii@xxxxxxxxx I'm looking forward to hearing from you and thanks in advance for your assi= stance. In the meantime, I'll lurk on this list and get a feel of what is happening= in TN. =A0Randy Little Milpitas, CA=0A=0A=0A =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to SIGN YOUR MESSAGE with first and last name, CITY (TOWN) and state abbreviation.
