[TN-Bird] Percy Priest Lake birds, Nashville

Percy Priest Lake
Davidson Co.
Late yesterday afternoon, Richard Connors and I went to Percy Priest Lake to 
see if the Merlins were still at Anderson Rd. Recreation Area.  They were not 
there, but with a sunny, calm day we had wonderful late afternoon light on 
several Common Loons, some in beautiful breeding plumage.  One of them even 
gave 
us a few yodels.  We also enjoyed close views of 14 Blue-winged Teal, with a 
not seen before mauve sheen glowing from the sides of their heads; beautiful!  
To top it off there was an adult Bald Eagle perched in a bare tree on the 
point just east of the Anderson Rd. trail.  A few Bonaparte's and Ring-billed 
gulls were still around, one Horned Grebe, and a large line of Double-crested 
Cormorants flew by.
