[TN-Bird] Birding Lake Co.

Reelfoot lake, Tn

Determined to get out and bird Walnut log Rd. I left the house about 7 AM with 
binoculars in hand.  I checked Buckalew Slough  on 157 and found 14 Snipe, two 
Least SP, 2 Pied Billed Grebe,  and a group of 6 ducks that took flight and 
left before I got on them . Probably Woodies.  Walnut log was really 
disappointing.  Besides being very quiet and very little activity you took your 
life in your hands everytime you got out of the car. The mosquitoes would swarm 
you.  After driving down Walnut Log Road to the observation tower and back I 
stopped at a favorite area at the parking lot for the boat ramp by a large 
"clump" of berry bushes where in the past it has yielded a variety of birds, 
except for Cardinals and a brown Thrasher it was quiet.  I check part of the 
lake in Samburg, etc and it yielded the usual DC Cormorant, Great Egrets, AM. 
Bald Eagle, GB Herons. No Gulls or Terns noted.  I felt like I was on the 
"Avian Desert" today.
