[TN-Bird] Black Scoter - Wapanocca NWR

May 30, 2009
Wapanocca NWR
Crittenden Co. AR
 
Just a few active birds on a trip to Wapanocca Saturday with the big  
surprise being a fist year male Black Scoter. I had met Gail King at the "Pits" 
 
in Memphis and we traveled to Wapanocca to try for a Least Bittern. We only  
heard one short call from a Least. I've had late scoters in May and early 
June  but they are always a surprise. The bird was seen on the water and in  
flight.
 
Also present on the lake were 8 Anhinga (5 males -3 females), 1  Forster's 
and 1 Black Tern, a few DC Cormorants, Wood Ducks and Pied-billed  Grebes 
plus a single White Pelican and the expected Great Blues and Great  Egrets.   
Good Birding  !!!
