[tn-bird] Shovelers,Gr.Scaup-Eagle Bend Hatchery

Monday evening there was quite a bit of swallow and duck activity at
Eagle Bend Fish Hatchery, Clinton, TN--About 100 Tree Swallows, a pair
of NO. ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOWS, and about a dozen Purple Martins.  A pair
of NO. SHOVELERS, about 20 GREATER SCAUP, and numerous other ducks were
scattered about the ponds.  I counted 11 Great Blue Heron nests that
appeared to be active.
    My list for the hour I was there:
Gr. Blue Heron            13
Bufflehead                    3 (2 females, 1 male)
Ring-necked Duck        ~30
Mallard                        6
GREATER SCAUP        20
    (I admit I have a hard time telling these from Lesser Scaup, but
these were definitely bigger than the Ring-necked Ducks beside them and
had very wide bills)
NORTHERN SHOVELER    2 (1 pair)
Blue-winged Teal            ~35
Canada Goose                ~15
Mongrel Geese                2
Amer. Coot                    ~50
Killdeer                            ~5
Ring-billed Gull                4
Purple Martin                    12
No.ROUGH-WG. SW.      2
Tree Swallow                   ~100
Amer. Robin                    several
AMERICAN PIPIT            1
Eur. Starling                    ~100
