[TN-Bird] Hamilton Co-sandhill cranes

 TN birders,
 
On my commute to Erlanger Hospital this am, saw about 125 sandhills flying up 
river toward the Chickamauga Dam, having just flown over Amnicola Marsh area.  
The time was 7:48.
 
Also, I am walking the Brainerd Levee(Chattanooga, Hamilton Co) in the 
afternoon, having done so on 14/16/17/20Nov between 5:20 and 6:15pm window.  
Species encountered include:
 
Great blue heron
Canada goose
wood duck
Green-winged teal
Amer Black duck(flying into the creeek)
Mallard
Northern Pintail(maximum of 4 males)
Northern Shoveler(6)
Gadwall-most numerous specie
Red-shouldered Hawk-max of 3 seen on 20Nov
Wild Turkey-1 seen on side of levee opposite end of Boyd-Buchanan school
Am Coot
Killdeer-heard only
ring-billed gulls-few
mourning dove-few fly bys
Great horned owl-1 herd on 16Nov-pitch sounded female
Belted Kingfisher
eastern Phoebe
Amer Crow
Carolina Wren
House wren
Eastern Bluebird
Amer Robin
Northern Mockingbird
Amer Pipit-2 flyovers
Euro starling
Northern cardinal
eastern Towhee
Song sparrow
red-winged blackbird
Com grackle
 
 
I know several are looking for the Amer wigeon for the county year list, but 
fading light or nonpresence has kept me from getting it for my TN year list.
