[tn-bird] Eurasian Wigeon still present- Henry Co.

After work this morning I made a quick jaunt to Britton Ford Unit of the TNWR 
to see if the drake Eurasian Wigeon was still present. When I 1st arrived the 
birds in the bay at the overlook were in a state of near panic. Shortly 
afterwards I found the source of the panic, perched overlooking the bay was 
the adult Peregrine Falcon that has frequented the Paris Landing area the 
past couple of winters. Birds all over the refuge were very spooky, and I 
didn't really expect to find the Eurasian, even if it was there. The bay out 
from the north entrance to the refuge held the majority of the Canada Geese 
(no Snows of White-fronts seen this morning) and a sizable group of Wigeon. 
After a short while I came across the Eurasian and spent the next hour 
observing and trying to get some better shots of the bird. Distance and a 
very brisk wind once again prevented me from getting any really good shots, 
but I did get some better shots than on Monday when I found the bird. If 
anyone would like to see a pic of the Wigeon or Peregrine let me know and 
I'll shoot you a couple.  

Good birding!!!!!!!
