[Bristol-Birds] Shovler & Blue-wg Teal in Kingsport

Taking a short drive along the South Fork Holston Sluice bordering Riverport 
Road in Kingsport today (Feb 21) I found a good variety of ducks.  A pair of 
Shovelers, 1 Blue-wing Teal (my first for the year), 14 Gadwall, 5 Hooded 
Mergansers and the usual Mallards.
Along Netherland Inn Drive at Riverfront Resturant I had the "resident" Spotted 
 Sandpiper,  approximately  8-10 Yellow-rump Warblers and a Red Shouldered 
Hawk.  Further on west on Netherland Inn Drive I had the usual: 25-35 
Ring-billed Gulls, 50 + Coots, 20 Canada Geese and approx 30 Mallards.  On the 
island below the bridge were 9 Cormorants in the trees and 3 Great Blue Herons 
standing on nests in the top of the sycamore trees.
The Blue-wing Teal seems to be an early spring date ????
