Hi Birders,
 
New yard bird!
 
Nine sandhill cranes just flew right over my deck (2:55 p.m. CST) in the 
Charlotte Park area of West Nashville heading southeast toward the WSMV tower 
and 
possibly on toward Williamson County.  Of course, they COULD sort of double 
back and go over to Bell's Bend just about a half-mile or less across the 
river. 
 They seemed to be sort of gearing down, getting a little out of "formation" 
and looking for a landing place.  I had to rush back inside as I was mighty 
scantily dressed for the COLD deck.  Actually, ithey aren't the first I've seen 
from my deck.  Several years ago, I saw a couple flying down the Cumberland 
River a few blocks away while I was standing on my deck.  I don't have that 
date 
anymore as the HAZMAT crew threw away the list I had posted on the fridge 
when they "sterilized" my home after my illness a couple of years ago.
 
Juncos and white-throated sparrows are feeding.....getting ready for snow (?) 
tonight>  One of the white-throats has also been coming right up to the 
dining room door and singing his lovely song to me.  Thanking me for the 
food??????
