Yesterday on my way home from work, I had a "big"
surprise at the cow pond I pass regularly on Montvale
Road (on the left as you leave town, just outside the
Maryville city limits).  Usually this pond hosts
mallards and Canada Geese with an occasional
ring-necked duck, great blue heron or green heron. 
Yesterday, though a GREAT EGRET was perched on the
tree.  When I pulled over to verify that it was a
great egret and not a snowy, I saw two ducks with
distinctive white "hip" patches--BLUE WINGED TEAL.

I called Charlie and told him to check out the pond on
his way home.  An hour later he also saw the birds.
