Black Bayou WMA
Tiptonville, Tn
My feeders have been extra busy lately and for three days now I have had a Male 
Purple Finch at my feeder, first for the year...also on Jan13 I had a Female 
Purple finch....these along with the Red breasted Nuthatches that have been at 
my feeder since  before Christmas have made a great addition to all the other 
birds that are regulars....

Today in Black Bayou there were 26 Least Sandpipers in a pond near the 
Duck/Goose pits that I pass on my way to go walking....also, Wilson Snipe are 
in various areas along the Choctow- Mackinaw road....I have been seeing Snipe 
in the Rice fields for a couple of weeks, depending on the ice....today was 
warmer and things were thawing......

Eagles continue to congregate at the Goose pit area of Black Bayou at the curve 
feasting on duck and goose.....and also they are at the Phillippy Unit of Black 
Bayou seen from Hwy 78.....nest sites are getting busier as the Bald Eagles 
that stay here year round prepare to nest...

Snow Goose population is still high.....

Duck season on the lake ended today....

Duck hunter and Eagle watcher population is high......:o)
