Eagle Bend Fish Hatchery
Anderson County
An addition to the recent posts by Dev Joslin & the Loveday's:
There was one female BUFFLEHEAD at Eagle Bend on Sunday afternoon. At this
time, there were no tree swallows (did have northern rough-winged swallows in
Roane County today), Ross's geese, Wilson's snipe, or ring-necked ducks in
sight. The Canada geese were almost too thick to count, with X88A still
using the area. The 3 hooded mergansers were there, as well as 2 male
blue-winged teal (as Dev noted for Monday). Great blue herons were numerous
with several around the ponds and many on nests (didn't count as I figured
this has already been covered by others). Also had kingfisher, red-winged
blackbird, etc, but notable again were two VESPER SPARROWS picking at the
semi-dried pond scum in one of the drained ponds. These little guys are
obviously on the move now - and for me, March always seems to be the best
time to find them.
Good birding all,
