Brainerd Levee, Hamilton County, TN from Shallowford Rd. parking lot  to Mile 
1.4 and back; 12:30 PM-3:20 PM. Highlights include:
 
Ruddy Duck--1 female
Wood Duck--1 female
Blue-winged Teal--5 my first of the season   
Green-winged Teal--70
All 3 accipiters including a juv. N. Goshawk seen for 45 - 60 seconds @  
2:20PM. Bird was distinctively an accipiter, noticeably longer than  
Red-shouldered Hawks that were in the air most of time. Narrow wings, long  
tail with 
zig-zag bands, heavily streaked belly and breast. Bird was moving in a  
northerly 
direction as were most raptors seen except the local  Red-shoulders. 
Sandhill Cranes--9 groups totaling 401
Dunlin--1
Total of 44 species
