10-23-2012 Cedar Hill, TN and Murfreesboro, TN Tony Lance took me out and about Cedar Hill, TN where I photographed the Savannah Sparrow and Horned Larks -- life birds for me. Tony, I downloaded the horned lark photos as requested. We also went to Johnson's farm where I was able to photograph the juvenile and adult red-headed woodpeckers. We searched for the shrike, but did not see one. Kestrels, swamp sparrows, eastern meadow larks, black vultures, and eurasian collared doves were also noted. I cannot say I saw some of them because I was not wearing my glasses and was not able to photograph them for solid proof. When I came home, I read e-mail that stated there was an Egyptian Goose at the Gateway Pond in Murfreesboro, TN. I drove there and photographed the bird. I realize it is not on the list, but it is such a spectacular looking bird. Thank you so much, Tony. It was a pleasure meeting you and I envy your skill at spotting and IDing birds. I hope we can do this again sometime. Marnie Mitchell Rutherford County
