Yesterday after viewing the Say's Phoebe at Hatchie, we drove to the Duck River
Unit of the TNWR. Most of the area was flooded with thousands of waterfowl,
many eagles and a flock of at least 2000 blackbirds which were too far away to
identify. A very special treat was an adult Peregrine Falcon perched in a dead
tree over the water. The complete list of species is as follows.
Canada Goose 100 (possible Cacklings mixed with Canadas, but barely visible)
