[Robert Biller <merlin42@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rick,

Thanks for the reminder about Western Washington County.  With all the hoopla 
over ducks and cold fronts, it's easy to think of the big lakes and forget 
about the small ponds and field specialties in the winter.  Also of note, the 
White-winged Scoter at Wilbur has apparently left.  It was not there yesterday 
(Sun) and the other 2 Scoters that Fred Alsop had on Watauga have left as well. 
 

Off the top of my head this is what was found at the area lakes on Sunday Nov 
12.
Observers I was with include Don Holt, Larry McDaniel, Tom McNeil (and JT), and 
Dianne Draper.  We ran into Fred Alsop at Watauga Dam who reported that he had 
seen the Inca Dove in Morristown earlier that morning.  Also at the Overlook 
was Don  Miller et al from the Greeneville bird club.
