I spent an afternoon off (10/29/07) looking for some of the birds reported after the rain came through. The big numbers were gone, but some good birds still seemed to be around, including: Watuaga/Wilbur Dam area, Carter Co 10/29/07 Hooded merganser (5) Bufflehead (4) Paddle Creek Rd ponds, Sullivan Co Am black duck Northern pintail (female) Ring-necked duck (5+) Musick's, Sullivan Co Ring-billed gull (4) Lesser scaup (7) Common loon (4) Am coot (2) Pied-billed grebe (4+) Am wigeon? (20+ - a raft of birds too far away for me to positively ID) David Kirschke Johnson City, TN
