Not there about 4:45 CDT, but found about 6:45 and took several distant photos.
Have not conclusively seen the dark gape spot, but otherwise looks right. May
be able to see in the photos.
Eddie found a close upland sandpiper along Salmon Ln., Obion.

Subject: [birdky] RBA: Mottled Duck in Fulton Co.
In flooded field with mallards and wood ducks at edge of woods. Beside Hwy. 94
about 1/4 mile east of intersection with 2140. Seen this morning about 6:45 and
again about 11:00.
Birds don't seem to mind highway traffic, but fly not long after we stop.
After a while, we're going to try again for a scope view and pictures.
Bird seen well with binoculars both times. Great view in flight second time.
Dark, blackish body, buffy - not gray - head. White contrasting wing lining.
Also: Obion had 2 willets, 2 yellow-crowned night-herons, and 1 short-billed
dowitcher. Many great egrets and Miss. kites.
