Having left for TX the day the Snowy showed up, I'm considering making a run 
for it tomorrow. I have fond memories of the last one, but would definitely 
take another in the State. Does anyone know if it was looked for today?

On another note, I was surprised when I was coming home today, and a Great 
Egret was feeding in a roadside pool just off of I-40 as you go thru the 
Hatchie NWR in Haywood Co. I would have figured that bitter cold weather for 
a few days y'all experienced while I was gone might have given him the 
impetus to go a bit farther south.

I also stopped by Stuttgart Airport on my way home this morning, my first 
visit there. It is really refreshing to still have access to something 
special like that in these post-911 times. I spent about an hour there and 
had about 35 Smith's Longspurs, and 2 Sprague's Pipits. Now, to find a 
Sprague's on this side of the State Line.

Good Birding!!
