Saturday, November 16, found Mike Sanders, John Kelly, Sheri Hiter, Don
Carrier, Tom Hunter, Daryl Owens, and Jerry Thornhill wandering around
Northeast Tennessee looking for birds. They were not disappointed. Austin
Springs produced Merlin, Bald Eagle, Swamp Sparrow, and Greater Yellowlegs
along with other more common species. Paddle Creek Ponds gave up Savannah
Sparrow and Wilson's Snipe along with several duck species. Little Italy
served good food including a free second pizza. The Weir Dam area gave
great looks at Eastern Screech-Owl and a Ruby-crowned Kinglet who showed why
he is so named. Musick's Campground had three grebe species (Pied-billed,
Horned, and Red-necked) as well as several loons. Middlebrook Lake had
Hooded Merganser, Double-crested Cormorant, and Eastern Towhee to bring the
day's tally to 67 species. The weather was great and the company even
better. A more detailed report with pictures and complete species list is
available on the club web site (www.rcbirds.org) in the Trip Reports
section.
