While covering Miser Station Bridge-Louisville Point Park-Scenic Point
Louisville this morning for the GBBC, I had a beautiful Merlin perched in a
tree
in the new Lowe's Ferry development, a White-fronted goose with some Canada
geese in the bay on the right when entering Louisville Point Park, and a pair
of
Canvasbacks snoozing in Poland Creek between the campground and Holston
College Road. Near the entrance to Scenic Point there were 78 Tree swallows
on
the power lines along the road with an immature Bald eagle circling high
overhead. Phelp's pond, Scenic Point, Little Dug Gap Road and Louisville
Point
Park all had Great Blue herons on nests, carrying sticks and even mating.
While at Phelp's Pond there was a mini migration of over 50 Yellow-rumped
warblers flitting from tree to tree and another of over 120 robins passing
overhead.
Spring is on its way!
