I found the Harlequin Duck this morning hugging the bank as it did for the
majority of time it was observed last night, directly behind the Riverfront
Seafood Company located at 1777 Netherland Inn Road, Kingsport, TN.
Yesterday around 4PM, Brookie and Jean Potter were the original identifiers
of this rare occurance and were quick to spread the word so nearly 20 local
birders enjoyed seeing the duck before sunset.
This portion of the South Fork Holston River is part of the Kingsport
Greenbelt which is included as part of the Kingsport Birding Trail (KBT).
Birders planning to travel to the area to see the Harlequin Duck may
benefit from checking out the kingsportbirdingtrial(dot)com which provides
information on additional birding sites in Kingsport.
