[TN-Bird] Louisville, Blount County Sandhills, Snow geese and Redheads

I did a GBBC in the Louisville area from Miser Station bridge to Scenic  
Point.  From Miser Station bridge there were both a white phase and  blue phase 
Snow goose amongst a flock of 57 Canada geese.  The Great egret  was perched in 
a pine tree and there were around 15 Tree swallows flying  about.  There were 
75 Hooded mergansers, 3 Common mergansers, 5 Bufflehead  and 10 Gadwall in the 
creek between the nursery and stop sign.  There was  one Herring gull with 
around 130 Ring-billed gulls on the small islands  near the Louisville Point 
Park (LPP) boat ramp.
 
On Hitch pond I found 2 male Redheads among 73 Ringed-neck ducks, Mallards  
and Gadwall.
 
Great blue herons were on nests behind the veterinary on Lilliard Lane, on  
the islands between the Louisville marina and LPP, the LPP picnic area parking, 
 Phelp's pond and Scenic Point. I did not find any Black-crowned night herons 
by  the Maryville library spillway nor the Louisville marina. As of this 
morning  there hasn't been any listed in TN GBBC so if you've seen any in the 
past 
4  days please post them!
