Wow, Ron. You've been birding a long time. I didn't realize you were in your
80's or 90's. No wonder your life list is so long!

TN-birders,
Frank Bills and Sharon Bostick joined Dollyann and me this morning to try to
find some recently reported White-winged Scoters in Roane County around
Thief Neck Island. We did NOT find any scoters but in the process we found a
flock of 8 Long-tailed Ducks off of New Hope Cove Road in Roane County. This
small road overlooks a small bay of Watts Bar Lake that is NNW of Thief Neck
Island. They were floating around and sleeping, mixed in with many
Ring-billed Gulls. Two of the birds were full blown males. Gorgeous!
FYI - the highest count I have for Long-tailed Duck in Tennessee is 31 at
Radnor Lake in Nashville on Feb. 3, 1929.
Great birding,
Ron Hoff & Dollyann Myers
Clinton, TN
