From 2:25 until 3:30 pm this afternoon I birded the Eagle Bend Fish Hatchery in 
Clinton, Anderson County, Tennessee and was surprised to again find a 
Black-Bellied Plover hanging out with a few Killdeer.  The plover was on the 
right as you drive in, on the shore behind the two narrow canals that parallel 
the road.  It towered over the killdeer, had a rather short, thick black bill, 
finely streaked throat and breast with pale streaking extending down its sides 
just below its wings, white belly, gray legs, white eyebrow, and light brown 
patch on its cheek behind its eye. 

 

The uppermost pond only had water at one end and no interesting waterfowl 
unless you're interested in coots (18) and mallards (14) or perhaps a 
Pied-Billed Grebe.  On the first pond on the left as I drove down the hill from 
the topmost pond, however, I saw my FOS Buffleheads (6). Other notable birds 
included 4 American Pipits, a Great Blue Heron and two Eastern Meadowlarks.
