Greene County: Greeneville and Tusculum
I located a Lesser Scaup female this evening at the pond along Glenfield Trail
in Greeneville. Oddly, no other waterfowl were there.
A little later, I observed an American Woodcock in display flight over a field
in Tusculum. I was lucky enough to get the whole concert--the "peent" ground
call, the wing whir during flight, and the "kissing" sounds during descent.
There's no better way to mark time in early spring.
Also present in Greeneville: Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Purple Finch.
