Netherland Inn Road, Kingsport, Sullivan County
Jan. 23, 2015
On a tip I got yesterday from long-time birding friend Glen Eller, I went
to check out some scaup that had been hanging out on the S. Fork Holston
River along Netherland Inn Road in Kingsport. We had Greater Scaup (as well
as Lesser) at this spot last year during the big winter invasion. I quickly
located the birds about 50 yards downstream from the boat ramp. Sure enough
there were 4 Greater Scaup males, 4 Greater Scaup Females and one male
Lesser Scaup for good measure and comparison. While I was there spotted one
adult and one second year Bald Eagle perched in a large dead tree on the
opposite bank from the greenbelt trail and about 100 yards downstream of
the boat ramp. Good, although slightly wet, morning.
