[TN-Bird] Greater White-frounted Geese

Tn. NWR
Britton Ford
Henry County

I spent this balmy Nov. day at Britton Ford looking for
the Red-necked Grebe.  The bird eluded me, but it was fun
sorting through the thousand plus birds, of at least twelve
species, that are there now. I was stowing my scope away 
when a distant call got me back on the observation platform.
I don't hear Greater White-frounted Geese very often, so it
takes a few seconds for my brain to kick in. These birds were
in a loose V coming right at me. They drifted to my right and
nineteen of these big guys touched down on a mud bank about
150 yards away. I watched for ten minutes. Most of them were
asleep when I left.

Talk and walk softly, carry a big
