TN Birders: The following is a message sent to my daughter's dog who lives at Huntsville, AL. He will visit me soon for a two-week's vacation. "Coal" is my neighbor's black lab. Zipper is a German Short-Haired Pointer. The photos were provided by Clyde Blum of Chattanooga, TN. I am asking Clyde to respond to the list with whatever additional details he thinks you will appreciate. And, obviously, the music is courtesy of the Pride of the Southland Band.......Go Vols....Sept. 3. Let's go birding......Wallace Coffey, Bristol, TN Dear Zipper: If you are making a to-do list for your Rocky Top vacation, please put an item or two on it for me. Your buddy Coal, has found a problem at one of my bird feeders which he believes you need to work on. I realize this is not a working vacation but this is a problem which I think only you are capable of getting straightened out. This is what "Coal" says he is convinced is the problem. He made these snapshots with his digital camera. I am as astounded as you must be. But, of course, you will know what to do. I don't think there is any excuse for this happening. I know you will agree. I look forward to having you restore order by getting my bird feeder back to normal. The birds will appreciate you as they always have. Love, Wallace
