Birded Eagle Bend Fish Hatchery in Anderson County beginning at 11:15 this morning. I didn't find the American Golden Plover but then I'm notoriously unable to locate that species. Lots of Killdeer and 3 Least Sandpipers was my shore bird quota for the morning. Had better luck with Waterfowl. 2 Pied Billed Grebes, Blue-Winged and Green-Winged Teal (had a devil of a time sorting them out but I estimate 8 blue and 5 green), two female Northern Pintails, a female Ring-Necked Duck and 4 American Coots plus the usual Mallards and Canada Geese. All the ducks except for many of the Mallards were females (or perhaps eclipse males). Other interesting birds included 3 Eastern Meadowlarks, an Eastern Phoebe, a Belted Kingfisher (maybe 2), a Green Heron and am odd looking white Pigeon with a black tail off by itself in one of the drained ponds.
