[TN-Bird] Six Ross's Geese in Carter County

Feb. 24, 2004
Elizabethton
Carter Co., TN
Don Holt and Wallace Coffey observed six Ross's Geese near the Watauga River 
east of Elizabethton today at 2 p.m. The birds were about .7 mile upstream from 
the old iron bridge on Wilbur Dam Road.  They were feeding in fields directly 
behind the faded red barn on the right of the road.  Larry McDaniel found the 
birds this morning and they were identified as Ross's Geese by McDaniel and 
Rick Knight.  This morning they were first located in the river near the old 
stone bridge pillars which stand in the river bed about .5 mile above the iron 
bridge.  McDaniel made digital photos of the birds.  During the afternoon they 
were frequently flying in the area and not seen in the river while we were 
there.

Let's go birding....
