Mallards which are not included in the listing below.

After I got back to my car I stopped over at Winged-Deer Park and found the 
Ross' Goose very close and had a great look.  It was on the bank at the end of 
the paved trail leading from the Winged-Deer Park Festival Parking with Canada 
Geese.  I was about ~300 feet away at one point.  This goose made me have a 4 
goose day.  Not bad for NE Tennessee on one day.
