[TN-Bird] Scoters still at Norris

Thanksgiving Day
 
My kids went to in-laws today, so I went birding! 
I drove to Norris and the Surf Scoter and White-winged Scoter were still 
just above the weir dam. I watched them preen and the white patch was very 
visible on one bird. They were accompanied by  a couple of Ruddy Ducks and 
two Ring-necked Ducks and some Mallards for good measure. However, all of 
the ducks became very nervous when a very streaked immature Bald Eagle 
soared over the river for a few minutes.

I walked the Songbird Trail and found 22 other species - none of which were 
surprises - only birds that can be expected to be found there at this time 
of the year.

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving.
