Thus past Saturday, Angie and the girls wanted to shop and I, as appealing as I
find shopping, opted to drop them off at Bristol Mall for a few hours and hit
as many hotspots in that area as I could. I think I may have started a new
activity I'm calling "speed birding". I hit Musick's Campground, 421 Boat
Ramp, S. Holston Dam, Weir Dam and Paddle Creek Ponds in just over two hours.
As you can see, I didn't have much time to spend at either location so I
probably missed some birds. I did find some good ones though, including Common
Loons and Bonaparte's Gulls at Musick's, two adult Bald Eagles at 421 Boat Ramp
and three drake Blue-winged Teal at Paddle Creek Ponds. However, the bird of
the day was the Lesser Yellowlegs pictured below. He too was hanging out at
Paddle Creek ponds and gave very nice looks.
