Gil Derouen and I birded water areas in Sullivan Cty today. Summary:
Steele Creek Park
We hoped to find the Ross's Goose that had been seen there, but we
didn't see it. If it is still around, we expect we got there (8:30
a.m.) after it left with other geese to feed in some nearby field.
Paddle Creek
Green-winged Teal 1
Ruddy Duck 3
Ring-necked Duck 3
Am. Kestrel 1
Kingfisher 1
Weir Dam
Wigeon 12
Bufflehead 25
S. Holston Dam overlook
a raft of 65 ducks, too far out for us to be able to identify most of
them--it included 20 Canvasbacks
Rooty Branch and Pemberton Rds
Gadwall 6 on the beaver pond on Rooty Branch
Wild Turkey 18
Ross's Goose 1 on Pemberton Rd. with a large
flock of Canadas by the long cattle feeding troughs
Colebrook Rd.
Bufflehead 1 on the second little cattle
pond---very unexpected place
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker 1
Hwy 44 on second pond north of Darter's Store
Green-winged Teal 1
Musick's Campground
Horned Grebe 8
Pied-billed Grebe 2
Ruddy Duck 1
Ring-billed Gull 12
Wash. Cty., VA
Hearst Rd.
Am. Kestrel 2
Middlebrook Lake
Canvasback 1 female
Red-breasted Merganser 1 male
Pied-billed Grebe 2
Great Blue Heron 3
Coot 8
Cooper's Hawk 1
Ring-billed Gull 600 There were none when we arrived
at 2:05. They began to trickle in--I counted 80, then strings of gulls
flew in from the NW--I counted 100 more, then another 200, then more
large flocks that I estimated to be a little over 200 more. By then,
they were moving around, some flying up, then settling down--a more
accurate count appeared futile.
