I finally had a chance to go look for the Vermillion Flycatcher at Air Park
Inn however my luck was no good as he was not out and about the two times
that I went by there spending about 45 minutes each time waiting around and
searching for him.  However, he was probably up in a tree somewhere laughing
at me, so he could still be around so don't everyone give up on him and let
us all know if you see him again. 

Of interest I saw a WESTERN DARK MORPH RED-TAILED HAWK on the way to
Tiptonville off of Great River Rd. heading North at Mile Marker 6.  I
thoughtit was going to be a Dark-morphed Rough-legged but it was just as
lucky to be the Western Dark which I have never seen before.  With great
perched a flight looks at less than 20 yards away. 

I saw snow storm of about 1,000 SNOW GEESE slightly south of Reelfoot area,
large flocks of LAPLAND LONGSPURS, HORNED LARKS, an AMERICAN TREE SPARROW,
BALD EAGLES, N. HARRIERS, + many others.  I searched the LeConte's field off
of Cates Rd. with no luck either.  See you in the field.
