TN-birders,
Beth Schilling, Ed LeGrand, Dollyann Myers, and I spent a couple of hours at
the Duck River unit of the Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge in Humphrey’s
County, just south of New Johnsonville, TN this morning. There are loads of
birds there. Some of the highlights were:
All 5 goose species – lots of Cackling, Snow, Ross’s, White-fronted, and
Canadas.
Pintail Duck – 100’s
American Widgeon - 300+
Green-winged Teal - 75+
Bald Eagle - 15+, plus one sitting on a nest.
Cooper’s Hawk - 1
GOLDEN EAGLE – 1, seen repeatedly.
Northern Harrier - 5+
Eastern Screech Owl – red phase sitting in the opening of a Wood Duck box at
the end of the main road. Very cute!
Blackbirds – lots around but could NOT find any Rusties.
Great birding,
Ron Hoff
Clinton, TN
