Greene County (mostly back roads in the western portion; a few other sites in 
and around Greeneville)

I was out for about five hours this morning and afternoon.  Wind, rain, and 
snow presented problems at times, but birding was good.  A partial list 
includes:

Wood Duck (9--7, Sapp Rd.; 2, Green Rd.)
Gadwall (4, Wal-Mart Distribution Center)
Blue-winged Teal (Sapp Rd.)

Northern Harrier (Jim Kirk Rd.)

Pectoral Sandpiper (5, Toby Rd.; strange to see them feeding in snow)
