Gorgeous sunshiny, 66 F day (Feb 22) for a drive around O'Neal Lake, Hatchie 
NWR, Haywood County, TN. 

I am 98% sure there was a Golden Eagle, 2nd year or adult (Sibley) briefly 
soaring up over the trees to the north in the direction of the river. Other 
highlights included 300 Ring-necked ducks; 5 Ruddies; 35 Gadwall; 3 Redhead; 2 
Blue-winged Teal; and 2 American Wigeon, along with 19 Double-crested 
Cormorants, 119+ American Coots and at least 25-30 Pied-billed Grebes sprinkled 
across the lake. Yellow-rumped warblers were everywhere.

Today's harbingers of spring were 4 Purple Martins sailing and singing, plus 
choruses of Upland Chorus and Leopard frogs.  I drove up hoping for some Tree 
Swallows, but you can't have everything.
