Reelfoot Lake, Lake Co. Tn Looking out over my "front Yard" is always fascinating. This morning we enjoyed a beautiful sunrise and during an early breakfast, with guests, we were treated with various birds..A great Horned Owl hooting across the lake, a flock of White Pelicans, flying around and floating by, DC Cormorants doing a drive, an increase in Gull population, Ringbilled and Bonies, 6 Red breast Mergansers (which are new to my front yard list) , Bald Eagle in the tree on the shore line, Red breasted Nut hatches, White breasted Nut hatches, Purple finches, along with the usual Cardinals, Titmouse, Carolina Chickadees, lots of Goldfinches, Downy Woodpeckers, Red-bellied Woodpecker, and the ever present House Sparrows. Life is good.
