Gibson & Crockett Counties
I spent some time birding yesterday in Gibson & Crockett Counties and tallied
the following:
On Colvett Road in Crockett County I encountered a large feeding flock of Puple
Martins and Tree Swallows. There were approximately 40 birds in the flock with
near equal numbers of each species. There were a couple of N. Rough-winged
Swallows in the flock as well. I also had a Loggerhead Shrike near this
location.
In western Gibson County, on Bluff Road, in a flooded area in the bottoms, the
following were present:
Gadwall - 10
American Wigeon - 6
Mallard - 60
Northern Shoveler - 14
Northern Pintail - 20
Green-winged Teal - 25
Ring-necked Duck - 3
Great Blue Heron - 3
Killdeer - 2
East of Trenton, on Gibson County Lake, I had my FOS Osprey flying over the
lake and a couple of Double-crested Cormorants swimming in the lake. No ducks
or grebes were present on the lake.
Good birding!
