[ahoodedwarbler@xxxxxxx]

During lunch today (Feb. 8) at the Watauga Lake Overlook near 
Elizabethton in Carter County (beyond the Wilbur Lake reservoir), I 
enjoyed a nice flock of birds in the tree dubbed "Sapsucker Tree" at 
the TVA Overlook Building.

Highlights included Red-breasted Nuthatch (1), White-breasted 
Nuthatches, Hermit Thrush (1), Eastern Bluebirds, American Robins, 
Downy Woodpeckers, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Dark-eyed Juncos and 
Carolina Chickadees. Oddly enough, no Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. A main 
attraction for most of these birds appeared to be the berry-bearing 
American Holly trees.

I also heard, but did not see, Cedar Waxwings.

On Wilbur Lake, Buffleheads and at least 38 Ring-necked Ducks. I saw no 
Bald Eagles today.
