Tuesday of this week.
On Monday, 20 Blue-winged Teal have been nearby on the upper end of the

Excellent mudflats have developed in the last 10 days since Chad Baker
elected to start the electric

several ponds which are
well up hill above the mudflats. Chad is making ready for a Retriever
Training Workshop
sponsored by the Northeast Tennessee Retriever Club, 11-13 October (this

down about two
feet.

Pectoral Sandpiper 1
Least Sandpiper 2
Killdeer 7
Green-winged Teals 1 FOS
Blue-winged Teal 20
