Tennessee NWR Duck River Unit Humphreys County Pool 2, 3, and 6 04/24&25/12 Yesterday recorded 18 sora in Pools 2 & 3 along the Blue Goose Blvd Auto Tour Loop. About 2/3rds of those were seen with the rest heard. Also observed four L. scaup and one female ringneck duck in Pool 3 and three pintail in Pool 4. Today had an American bittern in Pool 6 right off Lawrence Creek Rd in a borrow ditch hole where a short levee rd is used to access some overgrown farm fields. Also picked up FOS bobolinks. Two males were observed singing their hearts out in a winter wheat field in Pool 10. Between the refuge and New Johnsonville I had my FOS E. kingbird. Clayton Ferrell
