My 8 year-old grandson, Drew, birded with me some this morning around Nickajack Dam. There were high numbers of Double-crested Cormorants (200+) and American Coots (thousands). Small numbers of waterfowl were present: Horned Grebe, Common Loon, Canada Geese, Red-breasted Merganser, Ruddy Duck, Gadwall, Ring-necked Duck, Pied-billed Grebe. All total, we saw only about 30 species in and hour, but Drew added 4 birds to his life list. His favorite bird of the day was Golden-crowned Kinglet.
