Spent 2 hours or so paddling around Ish Creek Bay in Blount County from
2:00-4:30 pm today (Sunday Feb 7).
Lots of Bonaparte¹s and Ring-billed Gulls and Pied-billed Grebes. Few
ducks initially, but 1st spring female White-winged Scoter (photos on
bird) was in northeast part of bay along with a Horned Grebe. Not sure if
this is same scoter previously reported from here. Further out in the bay
were 3 Common Goldeneyes. An adult Bald Eagle flew over. Around 4 pm a
good number of ducks were up in the air in direction of Phelps Pond and
Mallards, Gadwall, Ring-necked Ducks, and Hooded Mergansers all landed on
the bay.
