There was a female Long-tailed Duck at Lake Breckenridge in southern
Cumberland Co. this morning (Sunday, Feb. 17), along with 16 Redheads, 20
Ring-necked Ducks, and 8 Hooded Mergansers. I viewed it (and took
documentable photos) from the end of Cherry St. which is near the dam. There
is room along the road to avoid trespassing on the heavily-signed Property
Owners' Association parking area. I was expecting the bird to show up with
other roosting ducks at Lake Tansi (4 miles north) this evening, but I
couldn't find it. Typing "Lake Breckenridge, TN" into Google Maps brings the
location right up.
Sandhill Cranes were active today in southern Cumberland Co., with 5 flocks
totaling 235 birds heading NW in the morning, and one flock of 60 heading
south in late afternoon.
