Jim Ratchford and I birded six and one-half hours of waterfowling in
Sullivan County today (Thursday).
We counted 110 Red-necked Grebes at two impoundments - Boone Lake and
Patrick Henry Lake.
Out of that number, 101 were found on Boone Lake and nine (9) on Patrick
Henry Lake.
The former was birded from the Buffalo Community at Beaver Creek and Davis
Marina along the
South Fork Holston River Embayment to Boone Dam. The later from Boone Dam
to Fort Patrick
Henry Dam.
At Boone Dam, we also had a brilliant, male Long-tailed Duck (often seen by
others), 32 Red-Necked
Grebe, 2 Pied-billed Grebe, 4 Horned Grebe, 1 Eared Grebe (previously
reported by others) and
And ~ 150 Ring-necked Ducks.
We noted about ~30 Great Blue Herons on nests in the rookery just below
Patrick Henry Dam.
Before going to Boone Lake, we birded Paddle Creek Pond in Sullivan Co., TN:
Canada Goose 14
Mallard 10
Canvasback 3
Redhead 1
Ring-necked Duck 6
Wilson's Snipe 1
Tree Swallow 1
