Hi,
 
Mary Schmidt and I walked the Hematite Trail in Land Between The Lakes 
yesterday after work.  Besides finding lots of singing warbling vireos, our 
most interesting sighting was a female Hooded Merganser with several babies.  
They were paddling across the middle of Hematite Lake.  We were pretty 
surprised because neither of us have ever seen breeding mergansers here 
before!  
 
Mary took a few photographs, but they were taken at a distance with a basic 
point-and-shoot camera.  If anyone is interested in the photos, you can contact 
her at Lake Barkley State Resort Park, where she works as the park naturalist.  
She will be out of the office this weekend, but should be back next week.  
 
Thanks,
