[TN-Bird] Kyker Bottoms - Blount County - Red-breasted Mereganser 5/30

Kyker Bottoms TWRA Refuge
Maryville, Blount County
May 30, 2009

I spent a great Saturday roaming one of my favorite places. Still some  
water in a few of the ponds which led to a couple of highlights (for  
me anyway) of a Virginia Rail (no photo) and a single Red-breasted  
Merganser (photo link below). 42 species in all.
