[JPMOYLE18@xxxxxxx]

As I drove across the bridge over our stream 3/12, I looked east, down 
stream, and saw the first wood duck of the year on our property.  It was a 
male, 
amazingly with two ducklings!  Isn't this unusually early in NE Tennessee for 
that?  Also, are the intense chorus frog and spring peeper "dins" since early 
February unusually early?  That same day, I saw a common snipe along the 
Sullivan 
Gardens parkway (93) in a large puddle at the new soccer fields.  Today, I  
had, upstream on our stream, two male mallards, one hybrid Peking/mallard male 
and a pure white Peking duck.  First sightings of such here.   Total bird 
species (non-domesticated) seen on or from our property since we moved in June 
1 
last year:  94!    John Moyle   Glen Alpine Road   Kingsport  Sullivan County
