[TN-Bird] Rough-legged Hawk, Ross's Goose, and Common Merg.

Tn-birders,
Sorry I didn't get to post this Saturday. We had the dark morph Rough-legged 
hawk at the usual location in Sequatchie Valley (Bledsoe County) on Sat. This 
location is about C-5 on page 41 of the Tn. DeLorme Gazeteer where it says 
"Ninemile". On the map there is the name "Sequatchie". It is close to where the 
"c" is in that name, or about 1/3 mile west of where the creek crosses the 
road, on the north side of the road. 
Also we had a Ross's Goose at Swafford Pond. This is also on the same page and 
is on Upper East Valley Road, near the name "East".

After that we went to Dayton to eat and found a female Common Merganser at the 
city park in Dayton. This is just off the bypass. We saw a large white sign 
that said Riverside Cafe and turned in there. There are numerous RB Gulls and 
the merganser is hanging out with some Muscovy Ducks there.

A quick trip to Hiwassee Refuge (Meigs County) found about 40 people watching 
about 13,000+ Sandhill Cranes. Quite a sight.

Great birding to all,
Ron Hoff
Clinton, Tn.
