Steve and I were able to get out and about mid-afternoon to check out our two 
favorite bodies of water here in Clarksville.
First stop was The new Clarksville Marina.  Present were: 20 Ring-billed Gulls, 
1 Red-Shouldered Hawk, 1 Mallard, 1 Northern Shoveler, 1 Bufflehead, 7 Lesser 
Scaup, 1 Redhead Duck and still with us, the White-winged Scoter.  Work 
continues down there full steam ahead but the noise and chaos of the trucks and 
back hoes didn't seem to bother any of the waterfowl as they went about their 
business of diving and feeding along the edges.
After leaving there we headed for Dunbar Cave State Park.  Today we were 
treated to two "new" visitors.  First was a female Kingfisher.  We could hear 
her calling as we got out of the car and there she was perched on a snag on the 
opposite side of the Lake.  Our other treat there was a Cackling Goose.  
Swimming along on the Lake among the 444 Canada Geese.  Also present were 1 
Ring-necked Duck, 4 American Coots, 25 Mallards, 8 Redhead Ducks, 2 
Canvasbacks, 1 Gadwall and 1 Great Blue Heron.

Hope to see a good many of you this weekend down at Hiwassee at the Sandhill 
Crane Festival.

Until then,
Happy birding!
