Hello,
On June 5th & 6th I went birding at a farm newly opened to the public, and I
was awed by the abundance of birds I saw there! I did not start out counting
and tend to lose track after about 10, so I apologize I don't have numbers, but
it was great! My bird list follows, and if you are interested in birding
Stillwaters Farm in Chester County (right outside Henderson), then consult the
website: www.stillwaters-tn.com or email the owners, Valeria and Rich Pitoni:
stillwatersfarm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx They offer both overnight and 1/2 day birding
packages. They are seeking input from their birding guests to help build their
bird list!
cheers!
