On my way to meet up with Ginger Goolsby yesterday, April 3, to look for the 
Rough-legged Hawk, I stopped by the Mossy Creek WVA in Jefferson County, TN and 
found some interesting waterfowl:
4 beautiful Blue-winged Teal (2 male, 2 female) just glowing in the sunlight2 
Wood Ducks (male, female)1 female Northern Pintail1 Hooded Merganser  (this one 
had me fooled for a while until the wind blew its crest back, confirming that 
it was indeed a merganser).  It appeared to be a first winter male.  
I also had a nice look at a Swamp Sparrow from an unusual angle.  I was in a 
low blind and the sparrow was below me under some brush.  A White-throated 
Sparrow was in the same location.
