[TN-Bird] West TN wanderings

Had a few birds of note yesterday (January 16, 2006):


On Hwy. 152 in Crockett County (in the Nance community) I had 2 adult Bald 
Eagles sitting up over a small farm pond right in front of a house beside the 
highway!  Of course I didn't have my camera!

A nice Krider's Red-tailed Hawk was seen at Horns Bluff Refuge in Crockett 
County.  Not much else of note here but one Fox Sparrow.

In a flooded field on Old Mound Rd. in Crockett County I had over 200 Northern 
Pintails with a few Mallards and Gadwall.  Also in the field was one Lesser 
Yellowlegs feeding with some Killdeer.

I had one female Purple Finch at my feeders in the Mt. Orange community outside 
of Trenton in Gibson County when I was at home for lunch yesterday.

I forgot to post last Thursday, January 12 I had 2 Ross's Geese in a corn 
stubble field along Hwy. 45W north of Kenton in Obion County.  Also had a few 
Lapland Longspurs with Horned Larks on Stavely Rd. east of Ridgely in Obion 
County that same day.

As I noted earlier I was unsuccessful in my attempt for the Golden-crowned 
Sparrow in Covington but the bird was seen yesterday morning.

Good birding,
