[TN-Bird] FW: The Hoodies are back (at Kingston)

The Am. Coots have been back in the river bend in downtown Kingston for several 
days -- Hinckley Ohio has its springtime buzzards, Kingston has its wintertime 
Coots. It ain't the swallows returning to San Capistrano, but it's what we 
got...  ;)
I hope to start seeing the usual winter bunch of mostly male Ring-necked ducks 
in the teacup pond across Hwy 58 from the DOE K-25 Site in Roane Co. west of 
Oak Ridge. I don't think it's cold enough for the Ring-necks, though; their 
appearance/disappearance seems to depend on temperature but I don't know that 
for sure.

Kingston Steam Plant, Roane County, Tennessee, Sunday afternoon, Nov. 11. 
Counted 52 Hooded Mergansers, predominantly male (probably 10-12 were female). 
Watched a Northern Harrier fly across the big pond, alight on a small post and 
pose nicely for a few minutes. Eventually it dropped down into the grass behind 
it, devoured something and left.

Other select birds:

Savannah Sparrow
Field Sparrow
Palm Warbler
2 Double Crested Cormorants
at least 23 Ring Billed Gulls
5 Great Blue Herons
