[cwelsh <cwelsh@xxxxxxx>]

Mark Campen and I never caught up with the Woods Reservoir field trip on 
Saturday morning, but we came up with a few birds to add to Richard's TOS 
Meeting list.  All these were in Franklin County.

Wood Duck    2
Scaup spp.  19, too far out from dam to be sure of species
Northern Bobwhite,  off Reservoir Rd
Green Heron   1, pond by Wal-Mart in Decherd
Bald Eagle   1, ad., off Reservoir Rd
Bonaparte's Gull  2,  Woods Reservoir near 127 crossing (12 loons here too)
Hermit Thrush,  2,  Reservoir Rd
Grasshopper Sparrow,  1, field off 127 right before it crosses Woods Reservoir
