I spent the afternoon at the UT tree farm and Franklin Co around Wood's
Reservoir---obviously, I should have been at Camp Bark Barrens, Normandy and
Bedford Lakes---heard the Sandhill Cranes calling several times and saw a flock
flying in the distance, but never found them in the fields. One special
sighting was 150+ Black Vultures on a high te nsion tower---numerous winter
birds, hawks etc.
The sad sighting of the afternoon was the acres of stacks and stacks of trees
and shrubs where the land has been cleared for planting. I had never seen
cotton fields there before, but there are large ones there now. The
deforestation was tremendous---tomorrow to the sod farm and Bedford Lake.
Thanks to you who came over this way and posted your findings for me.
