While working the public health response to the Kingston TVA coal fly ash spill
yesterday I noticed a large number of waterfowl on an unlike temporary pond
caused by flooding of a field. It was mostly Canada geese and mallards, but
further inspection revealled a few N pintails, 2 sandhill cranes in the dry
part of the field, and 2 Ross's geese among the mallards. I took pictures
which I can't currently download because I thought it was unusual to have 2.
The area was off of Swan Pond Circle Rd and it was tough to stop long to look
because of all the large trucks on the road moving debris.
