Please don't forget that you can check the web site for updates on the cranes. Joe has a good report that tells about the people tracking them, and that NASA is also helping us keep an eye on them. It further reminds us to watch them from afar and never try to feed them. I know all the list serve birders know how important this is. But on this flight, these birds are on their own. There are many people who do not know their significance or the importance of keeping our distance. Please tell everyone you know, and help us get the word out. The exact address for the reports is http://www.operationmigration.org/field_2002_spr.html or simply go to operationmigration.org and click on In The Field. Also the Associated Press is reporting with good information. Check your daily news sources, and let your local papers and news reporters know that you would like to have them report on the flight. Oh, yes, if the birds fly 7 hours like yesterday they could be in Tennessee by tonight. If they are hampered by wind or weather, they could stop short of Tennessee and fly into middle Tennessee by tomorrow afternoon. That is IF they even fly today and tomorrow. Good luck everyone. Hope you get to see them. Good birding, Cynthia Wilkerson =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to sign your messages with first and last name, city (town) and state abbreviation. ----------------------------------------------------- To post to this mailing list, simply send email to: tn-bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to: tn-bird-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Topographical Maps located at http://topozone.com/find.asp * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the Tennessee Ornithological Society web site at http://www.tnbirds.org * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TN-Bird Net Owner: Wallace Coffey, Bristol, TN jwcoffey@xxxxxxxxxx (423) 764-3958 =========================================================
