My son and I birded various areas around the northern part of Hamilton County today. We had a SNOW GOOSE that could be seen from the Sequoia Employee Recreation area parking lot. It was with a large number of Canada's. We also saw a SNOW GOOSE at Soddy Lake, again with many Canada's. Also at Soddy Lake we had a large number of Gadwall, American Wiegon, and a few Ring Necked. On the park side of Soddy Lake (the one just beyond the Hwy 27 bridge) we had 6 Hooded Megansers. Of course, Coots must have numbered 500 - 750 or more. -- --------------------------- Bill Holt Chattanooga, TN Hamilton Co. =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to SIGN YOUR MESSAGE with first and last name, CITY (TOWN) and state abbreviation.
