Today, I birded in Greene County, Limestone, and the Elizabethton areas.
Highlights included:
Tundra Swan (1, Walmart Distribution Center (WMDC))
Snow Goose (2, 1 blue-morph, Gravel Woods Road)
Northern Pintail (12, WMDC)
Green-winged Teal (2, Gravel Woods Road)
American Wigeon (4, Gravel Woods Road)
Northern Shoveler (2, Gravel Woods Road)
Canvasback (6, WMDC)
Surf Scoter (Sycamore Shoals State Park, Elizabethton)
Ring-necked Duck (2, Gravel Woods Road)
Wilson's Snipe (2, WMDC)
American Kestrel (4)
Eurasian Collared-Dove (3, Mosheim)
Horned Lark (50+, Keebler Road)

I missed the White-winged Scoter at Rasor Farm and was unable to pull any
Lapland Longspurs out of the flock of Horned Larks on Keebler Rd.  After
birding these areas, it made me long for good marsh areas closer to home.
Are there any good cattail marshes/ponds in the Knoxville area?

Good Birding,
