Lauderdale Waterfowl Refuge
Just north of Halls on Highway 210
Lauderdale Co. TN
 
I've had a couple of inquiries about the Ross's at Lauderdale, I had one of  
the dark morph birds on Sunday, 12-30-07, but the large numbers of geese  and 
Crows are quickly putting the corn down. We had 15 Cackling Geese in the mix  
all lined up swimming in the far right corner of the refuge. Five species of  
geese can be seen at one time. Also in the huge congregation of crows in  the 
area there are lots of Fish Crows calling. Seven Bald Eagles and  numerous 
Red-tails and Harriers stir the mix incessantly. 
 
A total of 20 species of waterfowl were present on  each of my last two 
trips, still looking for a rarity in the  horde...........I'll be doing the 
White 
River CBC this weekend so let us know  what you find up there. The enclosed 
viewing area makes for warmer viewing out  of the wind.
 
Good Birding  !!!
