Quarry Bog
Orchard Bog
Shady Valley, TN
Johnson County
Rack Cross
.
The Nature Conservancy's Quarry Bog remains in a flooded state with the 
normal walking trial less than half accessible. This could prove to be great 
for 
species diversification. Orchard Bog, also a project of The Nature Conservancy, 
is enjoying high water levels as well. The Red-winged Blackbirds preferred 
Orchard Bog over Quarry Bog tonight by 16 to 1! Here is a list from each:
.

Wood Duck - 3 (one female)

Hooded Merganser - 2 (a pair)
