[TN-Bird] Pine Siskin, Rusty Blackbirds, Ruddy ducks and Buffleheads

Cane Creek Park, Cookeville, TNNovember 26, 2008Yesterday, (Wed.) while waiting 
for my son to get out of class at Tenn. Tech, I ventured over to Cane Creek 
Park on the West side of town.  About 8:15 the sun was getting up and thawing 
things out for a good day on the lake, and in the surrounding trees and shrubs. 
 The lake contained about 11 Ruddy Ducks, 14 Buffleheads, 3 Ring-necked, about 
150 coots, 5 Pied-billed grebes.   and mallards and canada goose that may have 
been a mix of locals or travelers?? I also had pine siskin mixed in with the 
goldfinches in the sycamore trees, and juncos, cedar waxwings, chipping 
sparrows, robins, bluebirds, and 3 rusty blackbirds all feeding on different 
types of berries in the trees and on the ground.  I also had 5 species of 
woodpeckers (NO hairy or Red-headed) and the rest of the woodland mix of 
yellow-rumps, to white-throated sparrows.  It was a good two hours.  This seems 
like a good place for future visits, and very accessible with the trails and 
roads for easy walking.Ben BrittonMorristown, TN
