Good Saturday morning birders...hope this email finds you all well. 
We had an opportunity to get out and about yesterday for some birding with 
Steve's folks, JoAnne and Larry Routledge, who were visiting with us for the 
Thanksgiving holiday.  We acted as tour guide and took them over to Paris 
Landing, Eagle Creek/Port Rd/ Trailer Rd and Britton Ford and we were not 
disappointed.  We had 45 species in total.  Highlights included 2 PEREGRINE 
FALCONS  perched on stumps at Eagle Creek, a great look at perched 
RED-SHOULDERED HAWK  on a fence post just off the road to Britton Ford,  good 
looks at a hunting NORTHERN HARRIER at Britton Ford, an immature and mature 
BALD EAGLE eating at Paris Landing and 19 different species of waterfowl at 
Britton Ford which included large rafts of MALLARDS, CANVAS BACKS, HOODED 
MERGANSERS, BUFFLEHEADS AND GADWALLS.  We also saw our first REDHEAD and 
GOLDENEYES of the season there as well.
We were happy to see water levels were up a bit since last weekend, thanks to 
the rains of this week.  It was a chilly day but as always great fun!

Happy birding,
Steve and Cyndi Routledge
Clarksville, TN
