Greetings'
 
While visiting my poodles who are staying with friends in Antioch, a  
sharp-shinned hawk flew across their back yard on Pettus Road just about a  
half-mile 
east of Nolensville Road in Davidson County.. 
 
When I left there, I drove across Old Hickory Blvd. along the south  side of 
Nashville in South Davidson County.  At the intersection of  Kingsbury Road, a 
peregrine falcon crossed Old Hickory in fast descent mode  toward a yard 
about a half-block away.  I could not see what it  was after, and traffic was 
such 
that I could not pursue it to find  out. 
 
In Bellevue, a  few minutes later, a red-tailed hawk flew across Hwy.  70 
just past Colice Jean Road.  It was flying erratically, as if in pursuit  of 
something which I did not see.  
 
Seemed like sort of a hawk day as an unidentified one got past me just  
before I left Hwy.70 to turn onto Sawyer Brown Road.  Migration???
 
I hope to pick up my poodles and go home early next week.  I'd  like to 
rekindle friendships with my "bossy mockingbirds" and other former  feeder 
friends 
who have gone without Dee's Smorgabird since I became too ill to  keep it 
going before Christmas.  With luck, my birds have not  deserted me and will 
quickly be retrained to come for dinner at my home in the  Charlotte Park 
section of 
Nashville, Davidson County!
 
Cheers & prayers,
 
Dee Thompson
Nashville, TN
