I birded Kingston Steam Plant in Roane County, TN from 2:15 to 5:15 p.m., 
Sunday, Oct. 29.  Lots of good birds, most of which I saw:

Canada Goose     35
Gadwall     4
Mallard     3
Green-winged Teal     1
Redhead     2
Ring-necked Duck     2
Hooded Merganser     3
Pied-billed Grebe     1
Great Blue Heron     2
Great Egret     1
Bald Eagle     1   flying in the distance westbound over the river
Northern Harrier     1
American Kestrel     1
American Coot     63
Sandhill Crane     7  flying south/S.W.
Killdeer     6
Least Sandpiper     3
Dunlin     3
Bonaparte's Gull     6
Ring-billed Gull     23
Mourning Dove     4
Blue Jay     2
American Crow     4
Carolina Wren     1
Northern Mockingbird     1
Vesper Sparrow     1  (soccer field area)
Song Sparrow     6
American Goldfinch     1

Chuck Nicholson came by, kindly pointed out a few of the above to me and 
said he'd also seen a female Common Goldeneye.

Around 3 pm as I was scoping the vesper sparrow which was perched atop the 
soccer net, a TVA guy who had been driving by on his day off came up to me 
to be sure I wasn't taking photographs.  I was glad I didn't have my camera 
with me.  He was very pleasant, but if you're planning a trip to the steam 
plant, you might want to leave your camera at home.
