While participating in the Savannah, TN Christmas Bird Count in Hardin Co.
on Saturday, January 4th, Ken Hansgren & I found 3 Sandhill Cranes in the
Savannah Bottoms.  This was the 2nd count record for this species.  We also
had three small groups of Lapland Longspurs amongst the thousands of Horned
Larks in the bottoms.  I believe the count total this year was 103 species.
Other notable species found on the count included Lesser Black-backed Gull,
Greater Scaup, Short-eared Owl, and LeConte's Sparrow.  Hopefully Damien
can post a full report later.

Good birding,

Mark Greene
Trenton, TN
