I see a red headed woodpecker at my feeder only a few times a year. I saw something yesterday near "downtown" Thompsons Station I had not seen previously-a blue heron being mobbed by a couple of smaller birds. Yesterday I had a couple workers cutting up trees downed by the tornadoes & burning some of the stuff (wish we had city pickup service!!) & I was pleasantly surprised when one commented on the large number of birds he had observed while tending the fire, which was fairly large. I had noticed how seemingly close the birds actually would come to the fire. I figured they wouldn't come anywhere near, with all the smoke.
