Boone Lake, Tri-cities Airport, & Gray
Washington / Sullivan Cos., TN
as part of the Kingsport CBC
a few noteworthy sightings:
Red-br. Merganser - 3, on the lake
Red-tailed Hawk - the albino on eastern Fordtown Rd.
Barred Owl - 1, observed at ca. 2:00 pm on Wahoo Valley Rd.
Horned Lark - 1, in field adjacent to airport.
To the best of my recollection, this was the first Barred Owl that I have
EVER encountered (heard or seen) in the Ridge & Valley portion of
Northeast Tenn (aside from a road-kill at Phipps Bend). They are
fairly common in the Mountain (i.e., Blue Ridge) region and, apparently,
wander some during winter.
