WIth the KykerBottom refuge so close to me I went over this afternoon, just to see what might be around. The grass is quite high heading out to the levees, so it is a bit "buggy" this time of year. Numerous small birds; Yellow breasted chats Goldfinch Sparrows Tree Swallows Osprey flying overhead Black crows Red wing blackbirds Mallards Bob white quail Killdeer I also found a group of 20 or more wood ducks Not the greatest images, but I was a good ways away from these ducks. http://bhowdy.smugmug.com/photos/337689023_LDzSi-L.jpg http://bhowdy.smugmug.com/photos/337689025_9icqw-L.jpg Bob Howdeshell Maryville, Tennessee bhowdy@xxxxxxxxxxx =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to SIGN YOUR MESSAGE with first and last name, CITY (TOWN) and state abbreviation.
