Good evening birders...
 If I had ever doubted the importance of available water during a cold snap 
today that was put to rest for good.  We had our first ever Fox Sparrow in our 
yard,  also had a small flock of Cedar Waxwings and about half dozen Bluebirds 
all about the same time because the water in the bird bath was free flowing.  
It was fun to watch them all take turns getting a drink...
This inspired Steve and I to braved the cold and made the "local" rounds to 
check out what else we might encounter.  Below is what we saw:

Dunbar Cave State Park:
80 Canada Geese
16 Mallards
Canvasback
Pied-Billed Grebe
Great Blue Heron

Clarksville Marina:
3 Lesser Scaup
1 Kingfisher

Lake Taal @ Ft. Campbell:
197 Canada Geese
1 Gadwall
1 Turkey Vulture
1 Red-bellied Woodpecker
3 Killdeer
4 Juncos
2 Song Sparrow
1 Kingfisher
