Greene Co., TN: Wal-Mart Distribution Center (WMDC), etc.

I birded quite a bit in Greene County today, with good results.  I began at 
WMDC before dawn and stayed until about 8:00 a.m.  At that point, I joined 
several members of the Greeneville Chapter of TOS for an outing in the northern 
part of the county, near Baileyton.  In the afternoon and evening, I visited 
numerous backroad spots elsewhere.

Highlights:

Canada Goose (492, mostly at WMDC)

Wood Duck (39 WMDC)

Baileyton; also observed by Don Holt, Jim Holt, Jo Anne Routledge, and Larry 
Routledge; this new site for ECDO in Greene County is located about ten miles 
northeast of the Mosheim location where the species has been observed for over 
two years)
