On Wednesday February 20, 2008 Stephen and I birded the Kyker Bottoms area.
The following birds were seen:
Northern Harriers (Two Adult Males)

Ruddy Duck (*)
Buffleheads
American Black Ducks
Ring Necked Ducks
Canada Geese
Mallards
Gadwalls
Hooded Mergansers
Northern Shovelers
Green Winged Teals
American Wigeons

Loggerhead Shrike

Pine Warbler (singing)

Also of interest we happened to meet up with a previous Knoxville TOS
Member, Andrew Core who had the good fortune to also flush the Barn Owl.

Stephen and I tried our luck a couple of times later to flush the Barn Owl
but were unsuccessful.

(*) In reviewing the Online Kyker Bottoms Checklist it appears the Ruddy
Duck has not been listed.  Does anyone know if Ruddy Ducks have ever been
seen at Kyker Bottoms or is this a first?
