Monsanto Ponds (Columbia)
Maury County, TN
10:00 a.m.-11 a.m.
Sunny/Cool 35 degrees

Took an auto tour around Monsanto Ponds this morning--no, I did not hop any 
fences to get to the observation areas.  There was good viewing without 
having to resort to getting stuck in a chain link fence! (Been there, done 
that!)

Purple Martin--3 Beeauutiful males

Tree Swallow--30!  At first there were 9...then 24, finally topped out at 
30.  These were seen all on the same wire with the martins.  Pictures 
available.

Common Grackle--6

Hooden Merganser--12 males seen, unsure of female tally

Canada Goose--40+
