Location:     TVA PONDS

Observation date:     11/15/06,1235-1255pm

Notes:      Same large float of birds on the big TVA Pond. Storms this
morning have them packed closer together and the wind is up and getting
worse. Rough count estimated at 350 Lsr Scaup. Birds in the smaller pond #2
were easier to count since in more protected waters. This makes three days
straight this huge float of birds have been seen.
