[Bristol-Birds] Wilbur Lake waterfowl

Thursday Jan22, I made a short trip to Wilbur Lake to try to find all the good 
waterfowl Rick Knight had reported the day before and I was not dissappointed.  
I found: 1 male Canvasback, 4 Redhead ducks (3 Male), 1 female Goldeneye, 3 
Green-winged Teal and 1 White-winged Scoter.  The scoter was found with the 
help of a new birder in the area Darrel Wilder, a new birder from one of Fred 
Alsops birding classes at ETSU.  Also at Wilbur were the usual Buffleheads, 
Canada Geese and Mallards.

I stopped by the Razor farm river outlet on my way back to town and was 
suprized by findind a male Pintail in with the Mallards, Canada Geese and 
Buffleheads there.

Since I was on a roll for waterfowl, I decided to stop by Steele Creek Park to 
see the wild White-fronted Goose that Larry and Jeremy have had there for about 
a week.

All in all a good birding day, now that the weather has warmed up some and the 
roads are all passable.
