[Bristol-Birds] stubble draws Woodies, Pipits

Feb 25-26, 2003
Hwy 107 near Lamar
Washington Co., TN

     Driving home in the snowfall Tues. about 6 pm on Hwy 107, I stopped in 
the Nolichucky Baptist Church parking lot (near the three produce stands on 
the Lamar end of the road) and looked out across a field of corn stubble 
containing a few hundred Canada Geese.  With them was a flock of about twenty 
Wood Ducks feeding in the stubble.  I had never seen a flock of Wood Ducks in 
a field before.  I stopped in the same spot Wed. about noon.  The field 
contained a scattering of smaller birds:  Northern Flickers, Mourning Doves, 
and American Pipits.  I could see quite a bit of uneaten corn remaining in 
the field.  This spot might be worth watching for a while.
