Hi Micky We are a few hours North of you. I am so thrilled we have a Heron here! I am still trying to figure out what kind of sparrows are living with us. My husband is coming around lol in his pre-me days he would have rid the barn of the pesky sparrows! Yesterday I caught him sneaking up on the Heron to get a closer look ;o) We have sighted sparrows, red-wing black birds, bluebirds, cardinals, doves, woodpeckers, falcons, hawks and a TON of creepy vultures lol I have to go feed the horses so I will talk to you later :o) TTFN, Lisa Tucker Erin, TN ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: MickyHB4@xxxxxxx Reply-To: tn-bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Sun, 8 Sep 2002 18:13:26 EDT >In a message dated 9/8/2002 1:44:36 PM Central Daylight Time, >Lisa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx writes: > > >> Anyone wishing to chat birds/animals or help out a newcomer, please feel >> free to email me. >> > >Hi Lisa, > I too am a newcomer bird watcher.
