Mississippi River
TVA Lake
Ensley Bottoms
Shelby Co. TN
An early morning stop on the river didn't produce variety but a single flock
of 82 Buffleheads floating down Ol' Man River, was probably a high number,
single flock of this species for me. At TVA Lake, a large number of Coots were
diving for plants, which made for a lot of splashing and 8 Pied-billed
Grebes were tallied.
The numbers of Lesser and Greater Scaup were is a constant state of flux as
they flew in and out from feeding on McKellar Lake. In the mix were: Canada
Geese, Wood Duck, Gadwall, 2 Wigeon females, Mallards, Northern Shovelers, 11
Green-winged Teal, 11 Canvasback, 21 Redheads, 100+ Ring-necked Ducks, 4
Hooded and 3 Ruddy...........14 species of waterfowl.
I did not have time to spend scanning at Robco Lake but it is covered in
ducks, coots and DC Cormorants plus a single Great Egret...................
Good Birding !!!
