Eagle Bend Fish Hatchery
Anderson County

An addition to the recent posts by Dev Joslin & the Loveday's:

There was one female BUFFLEHEAD at Eagle Bend on Sunday afternoon.  At this 
time, there were no tree swallows (did have northern rough-winged swallows in 
Roane County today), Ross's geese, Wilson's snipe, or ring-necked ducks in 
sight.  The Canada geese were almost too thick to count, with X88A still 
using the area.  The 3 hooded mergansers were there, as well as 2 male 
blue-winged teal (as Dev noted for Monday).  Great blue herons were numerous 
with several around the ponds and many on nests (didn't count as I figured 
this has already been covered by others).  Also had kingfisher, red-winged 
blackbird, etc, but notable again were two VESPER SPARROWS picking at the 
semi-dried pond scum in one of the drained ponds.  These little guys are 
obviously on the move now - and for me, March always seems to be the best 
time to find them.

Good birding all,
