At White's Mill Wildlife Refuge in Blount County, Tennessee this hot afternoon
I had my FOY Blue-gray Gnatcatcher just before I left. I had actually gotten
into my car when I saw movement in the bushes. Naturally I got out to
investigate and got a good look at the little guy. The refuge has lots of
water and lots of ducks. I could not identify all the ducks as they are pretty
skittish and I didn't have my scope. I did manage to ID the following:
Blue-Winged Teal 10Ring-necked Duck 6Bufflehead
4Mallard 2Canada Goose 3
There may have been 4 American Wigeons but I can't say for sure.
A Red-tailed Hawk kept flying over screaming; a couple of times it chased
another buteo, possibly another red-tail or perhaps a red-shouldered (longish
tail suggests the latter).
