[TN-Bird] Blount County Ruddy duck

I have been seeing a female Ruddy duck on a pond along the road into Kyker  
Bottom Wildlife Management Area in Blount County since 2/19.  The pond is  on 
the right side of the road past the first curve after turning off US  129, and 
before the first house on the right.
 
I didn't hear any Woodcock at Kyker this evening but the Great horned owls  
were very active with at least 4 calling from across the ponds below the  
maintenance barn.  
 
I observed an owl circling above and then diving around the side  of the 
maintenance barn.  I couldn't tell if it was a Barn  owl as it seemed too dark 
for 
a one so it was probably a GHOwl.
