Eagle Bend Hatchery, Clinton, Anderson County, TN I saw what was probably the same bird in the same pond at about 5 PM today and identified it as a Horned Grebe. To me, the beak appeared relatively stout and without the suggestion of being upturned. The throat and cheek were whitish, with the white extending up to the eye. The white extended far back on the sides of the head and the front of the bird's neck was mostly white. The bird also appeared long-bodied and sat low in the water, rather than having the chunkier, higher floating aspect of an Eared Grebe. Few other birds of note at the hatchery, and the only shorebirds were about 15 Killdeer and 1 Spotted Sandpiper. http://www.tnbirds.org/birdfinding/EagleBend.htm Chuck Nicholson Norris, TN -----Original Message----- From: tn-bird-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:tn-bird-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of James M Moore Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2006 6:44 PM To: tn-bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [TN-Bird] Eared Grebe / Anderson County TN Sept 12 There was a single EARED GREBE seen today around noon at Eagle Bend Fish Hatchery in Clinton, Anderson County, TN Was told by managment it has been around about a week , but they were not sure which grebe it was.. Located in the second pond on the right as you go in. The bird was very shy. From what I recall, this was my first EaGrebe at the hatchery. A quick drive through on way to appointment, and did not see any other shorebirds or ducks other than regular residents. In my yard in Jacksboro, TN this morning (Campbell County) I finally saw my first small flock of migrants for fall which consisted of 9-12 Tennessee Warblers only...
