There is still a good bit of water in the ponds at Kyker Bottoms TWRA
Refuge in Blount County, near Maryville. There are a few ducks and
other waders still hanging around.
The spring migratory small birds are arriving daily. The Red-wing
Blackbird and Goldfinch seem to be the largest populations currently.
