Went to Reelfoot lake last weekend on the annual ETSU birding trip there with 
Dr. Alsop and students. We saw and heard 99 species of birds including the trip 
up and back!

Notably, Ross's Goose (in an enormous mixed group of Snow Geese and 
White-fronted Geese), Lapland Longspurs, LeConte's sparrow, Horned Larks, 
Common Loons, Hooded Merganser, Am. Coots, all seven species of Woodpeckers on 
the TOS list, and of course many Bald Eagles. 

Dr. Alsop also called up several Barred Owls and Great Horned Owls and a Barn 
Owl. We saw the American Woodcock doing its crazy mating dance!

Really a wonderful experience-I recommend it!
